This buggy belonged to Dr. Joseph Green, who served the Hartsfield community in the 19th century. It’s on display at the Museum of Colquitt County History.

The Museum of Colquitt County History was founded in 1998.

It is located at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Fifth Street Southeast. The museum is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Tours are also available by appointment during the week.

Fred Cook currently serves as president. Jack Bridwell is the executive director.

Permanent displays include the Early History Room, which includes Native American artifacts, including a 300-plus year-old dugout canoe; the County Pioneer Room with many artifacts from local families; and The War Between the States Room, which holds a plaque engraved with the names of Colquitt countians who died in that conflict.

Additionally there are rooms highlighting the arrival of the railroads, the early 1900s, local military veterans, the schools around the county, the farming heritage and the pivotal role of the pine forest that at one time covered the county. Included in one of the rooms is a 1928 Chevrolet, donated by the Duggan Family.

Among the recent additions to the museum are historical items from Norman College and a collection of 69 Indian artifacts from burial grounds in Florida that were previously on display at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library.

The museum provides a meeting location for member organizations.
