Giles County Historical Museum

122 South Second Street. 931-363-2720.
The Giles County Museum and Archives building, which was only a dream when the historical society organized in 1974, became a reality on July 10, 1977. Challenged by Mr. Cully A. Cobb in 1974, with a gift of $1,000.00, the Society joined the County Bicentennial Committee in a project to construct a building to house county historical artifacts and genealogical records. With permission and a large donation from the Craig Family, who had given Giles County its public library, the new building took the form of an addition to the library. By Bicentennial Day, July 4, 1976, over $65,000 had been raised and ground broken. The building was completed within the next year and dedicated on July 10, 1977.
