Mission: The Fort Valley Museum is a bright and welcoming community museum that depicts Fort Valley's past history. Exhibits include: The Church, The One-room School House, Seven Fountains Resort (1850-1888), Fort Valley's Manganese Mines (1850-1927), The Home, Handicrafts, The Farm, The Country Store, and Music in the Fort.
Buildings: In addition to The Old Brick Church of 1830 (our original Museum building), the Trinity Brethren Church on Dry Run Road has recently become a part of the Museum. Although it is not yet open to the public, we look forward to housing a religious and organizational history of the Fort in this lovely old (1904) church in the future.
