Cartersville Museums

Considered the finest mineral museum in the southeastern United States, the William Weinman Mineral Museum features a variety of interactive "hands-on" exhibits. The museum contains gems, minerals, and fossils from Georgia and around the world. Inside highlights include a simulated mine tunnel and waterfall, a Triceratops skull replica, a collection of international minerals, and much more. Outside, historical mining equipment is displayed and gold panning and fossil hunting are available for an additional fee. The gift shop houses a variety of souviners from jewelry to teaching aides. Programs for school and scout groups are also available.

This elegantly restored Victorian museum was the former home of evangelist Samuel Porter Jones. It was purchased by Bartow county in 1978 and then developed into a museum. It is furnished with donations of private collections donated by local families and organizations. The museum holds the writings of Samuel Porter Jones and Rebecca Latimer Felton, a Bartow Countian and the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. During the summer, Roselawn features "Storytime at Roselawn", where children of all ages gather at the Kids Lawn for storytime.

Located in Historic Downtown Cartersville, this museum provides an insightful and interpretive look into western art. The galleries feature contemporary Western American art, Civil War art, Presidential portraits and letters, Western movie posters, and Western illustration, to name a few. Sagebrush Ranch is an interactive gallery where children of all ages can learn about art and Western America.
