Newnan-Coweta

Historical Society

The Historical Society was formed with the express purpose of investigating and preserving the richness of our southern heritage. We maintain some wonderful displays at the Male Academy Museum relating to this history. Among these are Indian Artifacts, treasured furniture, Civil War artifacts including guns, swords, bayonets as well as early medical instruments. Maps, photos and histories abound.

In addition to our rich antiquities, Coweta County has more recently produced several notables: Erskine Caldwell a celebrated writer, humorist Lewis Grizzard, cartoonist David Boyd, author Margaret Barnes, renown pianist Charles Wadsworth, Country Music Star Doug Stone, and Country Music Legend, Alan Jackson.

Come experience the displays. We regularly change many of the displays so it is likely that you will always see something new.

Additionally, we have an extensive selection of books and memorabilia for sale.
