Georgia History Festival’s Super Museum Sunday has been postponed until Sunday, May 2, 2021

In July of 2018, the Polk County Historical Society’s Museum moved from the Hawkes Children’s Library building on S. College Street to a larger and more accessible building at 117 West Avenue. The Hawkes building is now an event space (top floor/garden) and a Genealogical Research Library (basement). Our new building includes a spacious showroom with four themed side rooms, such as our wonderful Sterling Holloway exhibit. Both locations are open on Thursdays, and the museum is also open Fridays and Saturdays.
