The Thomas County Historical Society was formed in 1952 and opened the Thomas County Museum of History within the Flowers-Roberts House in 1972. Since 1972, the collections have grown to include more than 500,000 artifacts and archival materials and eight historic structures. Now known as the Thomasville History Center, the organization, in partnership with the state of Georgia, also operates the historic Lapham-Patterson House. The board, staff, and growing membership invite you to join the Thomasville History Center in its dedication to ensuring that the appreciation of our unique history remains an intrinsic and unbroken thread connecting the past and future through settings that advance our story.
