The Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville is one of the largest museums in the country devoted to art of the American West, occupying roughly 120,000 square feet in a purpose-built downtown facility. It opened in 2003, launched by area collectors who wanted to share their holdings with the public, and takes its name from Sam Booth, a friend and mentor of the founders. Its permanent collection ranges across contemporary and historical Western painting and sculpture, Civil War art, and a Presidential gallery that pairs a portrait with an original signed letter from each U.S. president. A Smithsonian Affiliate, the Booth draws visitors from across the Southeast to a region better known for cotton and railroads than cowboys.
