We may be the Rose City, but every garden has its thorns…

Join Thomasville History Center Curator of Engagement Meme Greitzer on a walking tour of Historic Downtown Thomasville to learn about the people and circumstances behind episodes of murder and mayhem in Thomasville’s distant past.

By day, Broad Street is the quintessential heart of downtown Thomasville. After dark, we’ll explore the murders, mysteries, scandals, and other misfortunes that have unfolded along its historic streets. From Thomas County’s first murder trial and the bedraggled Union soldiers who arrived at the end of the Civil War to the hijinks of Prohibition, this one-hour tour will introduce some of the people who built downtown Thomasville—and others who lost everything along the way.
