Traveling Exhibits Overview

Realizing that education and information must sometimes extend beyond the traditional four walls of a museum, the Bandy Heritage Center has created traveling exhibits designed to bring its archives and collections closer to institutions and organizations that share the Center’s vision of preserving and promoting the history and heritage of Northwest Georgia.

The Bandy Heritage Center would love to partner with your organization in order to bring any of our exhibit to your community. For information on booking a traveling exhibit contact Brian Hilliard at bhilliar@daltonstate.edu
