The Thomson-McDuffie Museum opened in 2008 and permanently displays historical artifacts and current exhibitions of Thomson, Dearing, Boneville and McDuffie County, GA. Its rotating temporary gallery displays exhibits of interesting and historic subjects which usually run for three or four months. Admission is free. The museum is totally supported by public donations; no funds have ever been received from any government entity on any level. It is conveniently located in downtown Thomson diagonally across from the Depot, within walking distance of two excellent restaurants.
