The Old Campbell County Historical Society, established in 1971, is dedicated to preserving the rich history of Georgia's Campbell County and its surrounding areas. With a mission to safeguard documents, artifacts, and oral histories, the society serves as a repository for valuable historical resources that might otherwise be lost. Located in Palmetto, Georgia, the society's headquarters at the Historic Train Depot houses a research library, museum, and an extensive collection of documents and images, offering visitors a glimpse into the past.
Originally formed from parts of several counties in 1828, Campbell County experienced significant changes over the years, including bankruptcy during the Great Depression and subsequent merger with Fulton County in 1932. Despite no longer being an official county, the Old Campbell County Historical Society remains committed to preserving the memory of this historic region, ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from its fascinating past.
