Georgia Capitol Museum “In November 1889 the General Assembly revived the Office of the State Geologist,” one of the signs in the museum states. “The legislation directed the state geologist to complete a survey of Georgia and to organize a museum. The exhibits would illustrate the state’s natural and economic resources. The collections grew quickly and spread throughout the building. Over the years the museum’s emphasis expanded as new displays joined the old, education generations of Georgia schoolchildren and other visitors.” (Nelson Hicks)
