Our Mission

The Bandy Heritage Center for Northwest Georgia (BHC) celebrates the history and culture of the historic highlands of Georgia. The BHC supports research, educational activities, and artistic creativity that promote an appreciation and understanding of the area and its people. Through historical and cultural programming, exhibits, collections development, and archival preservation, the Center reveals the rich heritage of the mountain region. The Center also serves to promote the region's other historical and cultural institutions through collaborative efforts.
