he Newnan-Coweta Historical Society’s new exhibit “Newnan Now and Then: Roaring back into the 20s” compares life in Coweta County in the 1820s and 1920s to 2020. The exhibit was scheduled to have a grand opening April 3 at the McRitchie-Hollis Museum, but because of COVID-19, it was put on hold. While the museum was closed, NCHS Executive Director Emily Kimbell said they focused on reaching people through their social media channels offering vir-

tual tours and history lessons. The museum reopened for tours at the beginning of June. Kimbell said the inspiration for the “Newnan Now and Then” exhibit was to celebrate that a century has passed since the “Roaring 20s” began. She said they focused on looking at the community 100 years ago and now to see what’s changed, and what’s stayed the same. Kimbell said it also serves as a way to see what historical elements have inspired our community now.
