The Bandy Heritage Center collects, preserves, and interprets the histories of many communities around Northwest Georgia, but we form only one point of contact among dozens in our region for locals and visitors interested in learning more about our region’s rich heritage. Whether you’re conducting research or looking for an educational family outing, you’ll find a growing list of partners and collaborators here, sharing in the commitment to telling Northwest Georgia’s stories. Some endure as parts of our living history in and of themselves!
