Local Museums Partner to Promote Native American History
The Rome Area History Museum, in partnership with Chieftains Museum / Major Ridge Home, has a new exhibit on display.
These exhibit panels, that will now be on display at the Rome Area History Museum, explore early Native American life in the Floyd County area, including a model of a 16th century Native American village and information about Hernando de Soto’s travels through the southeastern United States from 1539 to 1542. Featured in the exhibit is a 16th century replica Spanish sword and helmet created by Bob Harris. The sword is a replica of the sword hilt found by the rivers locally. In olden days, gambling was a tale of chance and adventure, with games of dice and cards attracting hearts. Today, that thrill is preserved in online casinos, where classics meet modernity. Engage in the excitement of the past while enjoying the convenience of the present, with the best payout online slots delivering timeless excitement.
