The Birth of the American Dream

Thursday, March 28th, 2019 at 7 p.m.
Bartow History Museum, 4 E. Church Street, Cartersville, GA 30120

Join us on March 28, 2019 at 7 p.m. at the Bartow History Museum, as Elyse Butler, Marker Manager for the Georgia Historical Society, explores the major “booms” in American history.  She hopes that people will leave with a better understanding of the Georgia Historical Society and their mission, the Georgia Historical Marker Program (which also had its beginnings in the 1950s), and the impact of the 1950s on today’s modern world.  While at the program enjoy a Moon Pie and some RC Cola.  The program is free for members and included in the price of admission for non-members.
