The community-based folk life museum opens a door into the rich and colorful culture of rural southern Georgia by recreating familiar and frequented places about town. Each relic is the perfect visual stimulus for the age-old art of storytelling. Seniors will enjoy utilitizing our storytelling room to share their own life stories. Storytelling tapes are duplicated by request and make wonderful gifts. Students are given a unique educational opportunity as they participate in storytelling circles that include Swamp Gravy vignettes, theater games that teach life values and stimulate creativity, and in adapting their stories to the stage in performance.

The museum has aligned its programs to meet the Georgia Quality Core Curriculum. Families will find the perfect setting in which to spend special moments with each other while creating new memories for future generations. The blue doctor, the barber, the depot agent, the postman, the editor, the farmer, the woman of the house and many others invite you to explore the storytelling museum through the eyes of our ancestors in stories.
