Stop by to Gather, Explore, Engage and Inspire.
The DeKalb County History Center, in partnership with the Joiner History Room, explores the diverse stories that are part of our county’s history; gathers people together through exhibits, programs, and research; engages with people of diverse backgrounds to ensure they see themselves in our local history; and inspires people to apply this knowledge to enlighten the decisions of tomorrow.
The History Center also is committed to building the capacity of local organizations by providing resources and opportunities for collaboration.
