Dr. Kim Rich Meister - Textiles, Merchandising and Interiors Professor at the UGA College of Family and Consumer Sciences recently had an article published about Governor Henry McDaniel in the International Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

It was wonderfully done!

Her paper was published in Volume 6, No. 6, June 2025 edition.

Here is the link to the paper...check it out!

🌟 Tichenor Treasure Tuesday 🌟

Today's find: The 19th century maple rope canopy bed belonged to Henry Tichenor's parents. The mattress would have originally been supported by ropes laced through the holes in the bedframe; it has been adapted to hold a modern mattress and box springs.

🌟 Tichenor Treasure Tuesday 🌟

Today's find: The "bonnet box" on the floor beside the empire sofa was used by Hester McDaniel to keep letters the governor wrote to her during the Civil War. These love letters were so inspiring that they were later compiled into a book, "With Unabated Trust", written by Anita B. Sams.
