The Georgia Cotton Museum includes the slave issues and how their participation in the production of cotton contributed to the economy. It shows how farmers dealt with planting, controlling insects, prayed for rain and sunshine, and waited for the white fluff to appear at harvest time. How the farmers sold their cotton. The tools that they plowed, planted and harvested the cotton are on display as well as the weighing machinery and planters desk where farmers and ginners kept accurate records of the harvest.PutGeorgia State Cotton Museum into our Vienna sightseeing app and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.
