Cedartown, Georgia.
The Cedartown Public Library will be opening the tour with the opening of an exhibit starting on May 20 for one day only from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit is free to enjoy and open to the public.

“There are Georgia alumni and Georgia fans in every corner of our state,” Hasty said. “This traveling exhibit is a great way to take some of the most interesting artifacts we have in the UGA Athletic Association archive to communities all across Georgia for a fun, family-friendly event.
