“Beautiful Folk Pottery Museum” Yelp Review January 16, 2016

For me the folk pottery museum is one of the most

culturally significant places in the North Georgia

Mountains. I visited with low expectations and was

completely impressed. Georgia was the home of

one of the most renowned potters so if you know

the names Meaders, Crocker and others then you

must pay a visit here and see the collection.

“Multipurpose facility with history and art” Yelp Review November 2, 2015

Domiciled in a very old but well maintained former school facility. Well laid out and presents

beautifully the history of the area and the talent of the artists residing in a 50-mile radius. We

fully enjoyed our visit.
