Oatland will participate in the Georgia History Festival’s Super Museum Sunday on February 9, 2025. Super Museum Sunday is part of the annual Georgia History Festival, the signature K-12 educational program of the Georgia Historical Society, reaching hundreds of thousands of students statewide.
OIWC will join over 100 historic sites, house museums, art museums, and other points of interest throughout Georgia that will open their doors to the public, FREE of charge. They will offer a variety of in-person and virtual experiences that encourage Georgians of all ages to explore and experience the history, arts, and cultural opportunities of our great state.

We will have artifact tables and some extra concessions from 10-2. Again, FREE ADMISSIONS!

Super Museum Sunday is supported by SouthState Bank and The Coca-Cola Company.
For more information and to see a full listing of Super Museum Sunday sites visit georgiahistoryfestival.org.
For more information about the Georgia History Festival or Super Museum Sunday, please contact Elyse Butler, GHS Manager of Programs and Special Projects at 912.651.2125, ext. 119 or by email at [email protected].
