Because You Love A Good Story
The Bartow Cartersville African American Heritage Trail is an award-winning project comprised of 20 sites that memorializes the area's history and the community's support. This project is an effort to introduce what is known and share what has been discovered. It is not the definitive guide, but rather, a starting point for further research as the body of work on local African American history continues to grow.
