Washington GA Museum
Washington - Wilkes County Museum
First Aired: 04/11/2009
Each year all over the country vacationer’s and history buffs travel the United States. In many of these towns, cities and parishes lies a historical home that prompts visitors to come in, look around and see what life was like in the olden days. Behind the doors of these places we are allowed to go back in time and take a glimpse of who the people were, learn about the families and see what is was like not to have a TV or a computer.
This week we focus on the historical part of travel and invite you to come along with us. We traveled to Historic Washington, Georgia in Wilkes County to tour a very grand old home/museum and see a great collection of artifacts from a day gone by, among them there are 21 hand painted movie posters that were on display at the famous Lowes Grand Theater.
We had a great tour and learned a lot from the first county in Georgia, but we invite you to explore all of our small communities though out the U.S., the stories there are real and the artifacts are real. What better way to learn our heritage than to hold a little of the past in your hands?

About Us
Our History Project, Inc. is a National Non-Profit Organization based in McDonough, GA. Our Mission and Vision is the Preservation and Education of Our United States History.
We are updating
In March of this year we have moved servers and are in the process of moving all of our audio over to our own. It was due to excessive rising cost and the lowering of service that prompted this move. Please bear with us as we make this transition. If there is a show you are looking for and do not see here as of yet, feel free to contact us and we can get you a direct download link.
