Piecing together the puzzle of our past, one ancestor at a time!

Visit to Old Campbell County Museum - 2022

Another of our occasional road trips, this time to The Old Campbell County Historical Society Museum, in Palmetto, Georgia, a 45 minute drive from Douglasville.  We enjoyed both independent and guided tours of the museum, guided by our own ?? ??, who happens to be a member of both societies.

As you may notice, this seems to be the first indications of the impending failure of my camera, which you will find further documented on the 2022 Christmas Dinner page.  It has now been replaced, and the replacement (and its capability) is described on the 2023 Christmas Dinner page.
