Made In Columbus III
March 14 - September 19, 2010
The Galleria Cases

This is the third exhibition in the Made In Columbus series that celebrates the Columbus area’s manufacturing and business heritage. Producing items ranging from bricks to cannons, Columbus’ industries have always played a vital role in the city’s economy and helped form its identity as a Deep South industrial town.  Many other businesses, from long-lived retail stores to prominent insurance companies, also contributed to the city’s character and development. The businesses that will be highlighted in this exhibition are the W.C. Bradley Company, Goldens' Foundry, The Columbus Times, Litho-Krome, Aflac, and Boral Brick Products.

Download the exhibition Gallery Guide, which contains profiles and photos of the featured businesses, including several from the previous two Made in Columbus shows.

This exhibition is made possible by the generous support of Mr. Alan F. Rothschild, Jr. through the Fort Trustee Fund at the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley and Publix Super Markets Charities.
