Chamber Seeks ‘Barnesville Collection’ Pieces

Chamber Seeks ‘Barnesville Collection’ Pieces

Thirty years ago, during the heyday of the “Barnesville Victorian Village Project,” local Bread and Breakfast operator Janet Thompson commissioned a 14-piece set of miniature buildings that were popular collector pieces.

Barnesville Chamber Director Jill Hissom is currently seeking a number of pieces to form a complete set of the collection. The chamber would like to raffle them off  via a fundraiser to raise funds for chamber events.
