About Thomasville History Center

The Thomasville History Center is a private nonprofit that focuses on the history of Thomas County and the wider Red Hills region. Its campus holds seven historic structures, from an 1870 slat pine log house to a 1940 garage that displays antique vehicles. Exhibits, archives, and photographs cover local life across generations. Visitors can self-guide through the interior exhibits and buildings, and the center also runs walking tours, school programs, lectures, and community events. A separate guided tour covers the nearby Lapham-Patterson House, an 1885 resort-era cottage.
