Winder-Barrow Community Theatre recently presented a check for $100 to the Barrow County Museum as part of their ongoing program of donating a part of the ticket sales of each play to a local nonprofit group. The Barrow County Historical Society operates the Barrow County Museum, and this money was donated to be used in the museum. Visitors to the Colleen O. Williams Theater inside the Winder Cultural Arts Center have enjoyed the pictures found on the walls in all of the halls there, and these photos came from the museum. Thanks to Beth Barton, these photos are now labeled so that everyone can read more about the history of Winder and Barrow County while attending events at the Cultural Arts Center.
The Barrow County Museum is located at 74 W Athens Street in Winder. Museum hours are 1-4 PM Monday to Friday and 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday. Admission is free so come into the museum to learn about local history and to see all of the exhibits.
