Euharlee, GA -- The Euharlee Welcome Center and History Museum will commemorate February as Black History Month with two events.

The museum will host a free screening of a film depicting the struggle of African-Americans to gain voting rights.

“We have started holding history-related film screenings at the Euharlee Welcome Center and History Museum to broaden our public programs offerings,” said Director Katie Gobbi.

Later in the month, the Euharlee Historical Society and the welcome center and history museum will host a book restoration workshop.

The workshop, featuring Mike Grimes of TLC Book Restoration, will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 27. Grimes has over 40 years of experience in restoring books and will showcase examples of his work.

“I get a lot of satisfaction from taking an old book or family Bible and making it look new again,” Grimes said.

Residents are invited to bring their books to the workshop for him to examine.

Both events will be held at the Euharlee Welcome Center and History Museum, which is located at 33 Covered Bridge Road.
