A Note from the Thomasville History Center
In accordance with current CDC recommendations, the Thomasville History Center and the Lapham-Patterson House will remain closed to the public through the month of April. We thank you for embracing our weekly “Distraction Digest” and hope that you will continue to turn to us for additional positive distractions over the coming weeks. We are busily preparing more activities, collections spotlights, and lectures #fromthearchives. Follow us @thomasvillehistory on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date and visit thomasvillehistory.org/athome to download materials.
We will provide updates on when normal operations will resume and rescheduled program dates when possible. Thank you for your continued support!
Our history begins here.
Let us start you on the journey.
