The Berrien Historical Foundation was established in 1995, to preserve the history of Berrien County and its families. The Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that meets quarterly on the 3rd Thursday of these months: January, April, July, and October. Meetings are held at the Perry Memorial Library, in Nashville, at 7:00 p.m. Visitors are always welcome.
The Berrien County Historical Museum and Archive is often referred to as “The Best Little Museum in Georgia” by most of our visitors. The Museum has been the recipient of two Smithsonian Main Street awards for the quality of its exhibits and its local presentations.

Its 16,000 photo collection is one of the largest of any county in the state of Georgia on one website: berriencounty.smugmug.com Basic genealogical assistance is also available free of charge.
