Jul 16 Bartow History Museum: Innovations of World War I
Innovations of World War I
 
The Bartow History Museum welcomes Robert Jones, author and president of the Kennesaw Historical Society, as speaker at the upcoming Lunch & Learn program on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, at noon.  Jones’ topic will be how World War I radically changed warfare and the 20th century.

As July 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I, Jones will discuss his book The Top 10 Innovations of World War I.  These innovations, ranging from technological to strategic to political, include the use of U-boats, poison gas, trench warfare, and more.  WWI served as a testing ground for these weapons and ideas that affected the rest of the 20th century.  His book contains over 50 illustrations and maps and is available for purchase in the Museum Gift Shop. 

In addition to serving as president of the Kennesaw Historical Society, Robert Jones is a prolific author, having written books on the Civil War, railroads, ghost towns, and Christian history.  

Lunch & Learn will take place on July 16, 2014, at noon.  Guests are invited to bring a lunch and the doors will open at 11:45 a.m.

The Bartow History Museum is located at 4 E. Church Street in downtown Cartersville.  The lecture is free to members and included with the price of admission for not-yet members.  For more information on this and other BHM programs, call 770-382-3818, ext. 6288 or visit our website at www.bartowhistorymuseum.org.

Jul 31 Bartow History Museum: Payne Pottery Lecture and Raffle Drawing
Payne Pottery Lecture and Raffle Drawing
 
Bartow History Museum welcomes Ronnie and Brhonda Payne, Bartow County artisans, to the upcoming Evening Lecture on Thursday, July 31, 2014.  Ronnie and Brhonda will discuss the history of pottery in Bartow County, potters in Northwest Georgia, as well as their lives and careers in pottery and jewelry making.  They will also show examples and photographs of their work.

Ronnie got an early start in pottery, making his first piece at age 17 at Cass High School.  Over the years he has developed his art and skills, and he apprenticed with Ron Cooper for several years.  He opened his business in 2001 and began creating pottery full time in 2004.  Brhonda designed jewelry for Stein’s Department Store for a number of years.  After the store closed, she began incorporating pottery into her jewelry. 

The lecture will take place at the Bartow History Museum on Thursday, July 31, at 7 p.m.  Following the presentation, winners will be drawn in the museum’s fundraising raffle.  Tickets are available now for $15 or 3 for $40.  Raffle prizes include a Sony digital camera, a ticket for the upcoming Civil War bus tour, and three pieces of Payne pottery.  All proceeds benefit the programming and exhibitions of Bartow History Museum.

The Bartow History Museum is located at 4 E. Church Street in downtown Cartersville.  For more information on this and other BHM programs, call 770-382-3818, ext. 6288 or visit our website at www.bartowhistorymuseum.org
