A few dedicated citizens in Dooly County realized the importance that cotton has played in the lives, not only of Dooly County people, but people from around the world. 

Their enthusiasm has been rewarded by the construction of the Cotton Museum. Local farmers and interested citizens have contributed many of the artifacts that are contained in the museum.

But, it's more than a collection of artifacts. It outlines the history of cotton. It includes slavery issues and how their participation in the production of cotton contributed to the economy.

We invite you to ride through Dooly County in the fall or winter of the year and take in the beauty of "snow in the south." The cotton is so thick and white that it appears to be snow on the ground with bright green trees framing the view. This unusual site can only be seen in the south and best in Dooly County because the weather is perfect for growing the finest cotton in the world.
