We have both a Facebook Business Page, and a Facebook Group. The business page is run by the Museum Director and includes event information and news on exhibits and presentations. The group is community run and a wealth of collected photos and stories from the general public. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
We still have spots on our Saturday tours at 2PM & 4PM tomorrow 10/24 and we’ve added a Friday 2PM tour 10/30. Comment, message or email if you’re interested! Details at www.polkhist.com or polkgahistory@gmail.com
