This museum is a gem among gems. We got a tour with Jimmy White. What a great way to learn about African American history through a rich and storied local lens. This family-run museum is doing the important work of preservation and education. Visits are currently by appointment only through their website, but hopefully the museum will expand their hours and activities as we move through the pandemic. A must-visit!

I embrace and am grateful for the mission of the Jim-Ree African American Museum and look forward to learning more through our connection. Perhaps even more importantly, I appreciate and admire the passion and joy with which they pursue sharing that mission with all.

Interesting story behind the Museum location. Great place to learn about local history. Can't wait for the completion of the building rehab and opening of the historic county jail exhibit upstairs.

We enjoy participating in the Jim-Ree Museum Virtual 5K Race and Digital Health Fair from Louisiana. We hope to make it to Elberton next Juneteenth! We're proud to support minority health and community wellness at Therapeutic Muscle Sculpting and Massage! - TMSMassage.pro

Questions & Answers

When will the upstairs be ready to tour the historic jail cells?

Jim-Ree Museum is fundraising to renovate upstairs and other areas. The next step is abatement, and we'll open the historic jail cells for educational tours as soon as that's done. You can help speed up the process by becoming a contributing member at www.jim-ree.org/membership-1. Individual memberships range from $3/month (students and seniors) to $25/month (small biz).

Is this the museum that has the statue that was buried at one time?

No, it's not. The museum with the statue is the Granite Museum, on College Avenue.
