The Cherokee County History Center is home to 6 unique galleries each covering a specific chapter in Cherokee County's history. Our story begins in the Carolyn Smith Galt gallery with the Cherokee and Creekland Indigenous peoples all the way back 10,000 B.C. From there, we look at the industries that shaped Cherokee County and the impact of larger events like the Civil War and World War II on our community.

The story ends with a look at current preservation efforts across the county before guests are invited to explore our temporary exhibit space.
