Business Description
The DeKalb History Center was established 1947. We are the only organization dedicated to collecting, preserving and sharing the rich history of DeKalb County.
DHC is a membership based non-profit; we rely on contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations who support our mission.
After a Resolution in 1968 by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners, we moved our offices into the historic DeKalb County Courthouse and have been located here ever since. During the early 1990s, DHC spent over $1,600,000 renovating the Courthouse. We have a museum and archive on the main floor and welcome visitors and researchers.
The History Center also maintains three antebellum structures located on West Trinity Place in Decatur: the Benjamin Swanton House, the Biffle Cabin and the Barber Cabin.
The DeKalb History Center is open: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. We are located on the main floor of the historic DeKalb Courthouse. The museum is free. We currently have rotating temporary exhibits.
The archives are open to researchers Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10 AM - Noon and 1 PM until 4 PM. Appointments are requested in order to better serve our researchers. Please call 404-373-1088, ext 23 or e-mail sweetapple@dekalbhistory.org to make an appointment.
