Hello again! I'm Trey Gaines, Director of the Bartow History Museum. I hope you enjoyed traveling into the past in April via social media as we looked at mills in Bartow County and the people who kept them running. |
|
Step into the past with us this month as we feature local schools.
With graduation upon us, we thought it would be fun to take a look at the past and feature some local schools and graduates. Be sure to check them out, because you just might see someone you know.
