Museum of Colquitt County  History

Tour Page 12

While in this room, you will notice several other pictures.  Among these are pictures of the Norman brothers, who were among the first pioneers of the County and a picture of Miss Graves, who was one of the first school teachers in the County. A small basket holds wool and wool cards.  These bring back the memory that Colquitt County once had a population of only 3,000 people, but had over 30,000 free range sheep.  The coffee grinder dates back the mid 1800's, while other items denote home life during the period.
