Noble Hill-Wheeler Memorial Center

"I always love visiting this museum whenever I get a chance to visit. This is a part of my family and I love it."

"I wish it was opened. It was Thanksgiving Day so it being closed is understandable. The idea of it being the 1st school for Black children in Bartow County is notable"

"This museum to the area’s African-American history is suitably housed in the former Noble Hill Rosenwald School. It was originally constructed in 1923, when racial segregation remained an everyday part of life in the southern United States. It was the first school intended to educate black children in the northwest of Georgia. The attractive whitewashed clapboard structure is now a space emphasizing the life of Georgia’s African-Americans from the early twentieth century to the present day. Its interior includes a replica of what the school would have looked like when it was functioning, beside displaying household items and other historic objects."

"The Noble Hill-Wheeler museum is a great place to learn about black history and specifically to get a ground-level view of the Jim Crowe era education system. This building is well-maintained, full of interesting artifacts and documents, and has a good atmosphere that balances the history of segregation with some of the joy and hope of the era and of the many students and staff who passed through this schools doors. The museum staff here are very knowledgeable and friendly and since the museum is small it is usually not crowded so the staff is often able to have candid and in-depth conversations about the history of the building and the system that produced it. I highly recommend this as an out of the way stop for anyone interested in American history."
