Georgia State Cotton Museum

Cotton has been a way of life for many centuries and stands to remain a major part of our culture and commerce. The Georgia State Cotton Museum is located in a 125-year-old school house in the eastern part of Vienna, between historic downtown and I-75. It outlines the history of cotton, and includes a collection of artifacts such as a bale of cotton, farm tools, cotton bolls and periodicals. Visit the museum to learn about how farmers dealt with planting, controlled insects, prayed for rain and sunshine, and waited for the white fluff to appear at harvest time. A small cotton patch is planted on site during the growing season.
