In 1993, the museum was dedicated to Handsel Grady Morgan, Buford’s historian. Handsel has given tirelessly to the recording and preservation of Buford’s past and has been the ambassador for promoting our history.

Historic Buford, A History of the City of Buford, Georgia through 1990, is a comprehensive history of Buford and is a testimony to Handsel’s dedication to our community and a culmination of his life’s work. The book is available at the Museum store. A complete biography of Handsel Morgan is under construction and should be available online in a few weeks.

The Buford Museum is home to a collection of artifacts, photographs, and antiques dating back to the area’s earliest known residents, the Native Americans.

You will find historical items from 1872, products created during the city industrial boom in the early 20th century, a number of pieces from local artists over the years, and more.

Admission is free.
