GeorgiaThe Northeast Georgia History Center, located on Academy Street on the Brenau University campus in Gainesville, interprets more than eleven thousand years of the region's past through exhibits, historic structures, and education programs. Among its signature holdings are the White Path Cabin, the early home associated with Cherokee tribal leader White Path, and the relocated Herrin Blacksmith Shop, both preserved on the grounds. Indoor galleries include a folk-art and pottery collection featuring work by celebrated Georgia potter Lanier Meaders, along with artifacts of Gainesville cartoonist Ed Dodd, creator of the 'Mark Trail' comic strip. Only a fraction of the center's artifact collection is displayed at any time, with the balance held in archives. The nonprofit institution serves as the community's regional history resource for northeast Georgia.
