Treasures: Celebrating 175 Years in the Chattahoochee Valley explores the cultural and economic transformations that pushed Columbus from a frontier settlement on the banks of the Chattahoochee River to a thriving industrial and regional center. A fascinating assortment of historic objects, artifacts and documents enables viewers to witness ways in which those changes affected people's lives in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exhibition is on view from September 14, 2003 to January 18, 2004.

The exhibition is sponsored by MeadWestvaco.
