This new exhibit was made possible by a generous gift from AFLAC Foundation\, Inc. \n\n\n\nThe opening will take place on April 16\, 2014\, at noon\, during our monthly Lunch & Learn program. Tom Lewis\, who served as Harris' Chief of Staff\, and Joe Harris\, Governor and Mrs. Harris' son\, will talk about their roles during the Harris administration before the exhibit opening. \n\n\n\nThe Bartow History Museum is located at 4 E.
