When Georgia was first being settled, Wilkes County was a huge boom area and had a large share of the state's population. This museum has tons of information and artifacts from Georgia's founding families that is really neat to explore and very helpful for genealogy. The African-American room is also a nice addition and offers something unique (and vital) to understanding Southern history in small, rural towns. There's a lot to see so definitely set aside at least an hour and get the guided tour.
Great history, no politically correct, revisionist history, great artifacts.
