We’re excited to officially launch the Coweta County African American Heritage Museum’s 2027 Sponsorship Program!

The Coweta County African American Heritage Museum has an important responsibility: preserving and sharing the history, culture, and contributions of African Americans in Coweta County for generations to come.

With the beautiful new work that has been completed at our historic cemetery, now it’s time to continue moving the Museum forward.

We want to update and improve our museum so that it reflects the same pride, care, and importance as the history we are preservingβ€”and we need our community’s help.

We are calling on local businesses, churches, organizations, families, and community members to partner with us as official Museum Sponsors.

Sponsorship opportunities begin at $300, with Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels available. Our sponsorship program also provides opportunities for businesses and organizations to receive recognition through museum programs, events, social media, our website, and more.

On June 13th, the historical marker for Deena and Estella Strickland was officially unveiled. In 1932, the mother and daughter were wrongfully killed in their Coweta County home by a law enforcement officer. Although there were calls for accountability, there were no charges filed against the two law enforcement officers. The marker was erected in the cemetery where the two women are buried: Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Cemetery, on Cecil Hunter Road, near the intersection with Bear Creek Rd, in Moreland, Georgia. For more information about this marker, visit https://www.georgiahistory.com/ghmi_marker_updated/denna-strickland-and-estella-strickland-d-1932/
