The Cherokee County Historical Society (CCHS) recently launched a multi-million dollar History in the Making capital campaign for its new headquarters located in the former Canton Police Department building in downtown Canton.

Funds raised through the capital campaign will be used to renovate the facility, providing space for engaging museum exhibits, enhanced collection storage, and a comprehensive program of cultural events.

According to campaign leadership, $1.8 million has already been raised, which is 64% of the $2.8 million funding goal. 

The new multifunctional facility will serve as a dynamic education resource that collaborates with educational institutions at all levels, instilling a deeper appreciation of Cherokee Countys unique and compelling history.

The exhibit space for the new History Center will expand from its current 675 square feet to at least 5,000 square feet. Each gallery and exhibit space will include naming rights opportunities to recognize families and local organizations that have made significant investments in the new facility.

The launch event marked the beginning of the public phase of the campaign, which is being managed by Atlanta-based POWER 10 and a Campaign Leadership Council of volunteers affiliated with the Cherokee County Historical Society.
