The DeKalb History Center, 101 East Court Square, Decatur, hosts a dairy exhibit through April 15 that focuses on the history of dairy farming in DeKalb County in the 20th century. The boll weevil’s attack on cotton farming led to the beginning of many dairy farms when cotton farmers were forced to change to produce dairy products. The one-room exhibit contains colorful signs, artifacts such as a route book and milk bottles, and even a life-sized replica of Rosebud, the famous cow mascot for Mathis Dairies.
