    The Newnan-Coweta Historical Society was organized for the following purposes:
 
    "To promote interest in the historical background and heritage of Newnan and Coweta County, Georgia, and to develop this historical background and heritage to the cultural, economic and social advantages for the entire county.
     To disseminate information and ideas that will facilitate and encourage the development of the historical significance of Newnan and Coweta County, and to that end, promote the progress and  improvement of the civic, cultural and educational life of the community; to foster the interchange of thought and ideas among its members and the public having to do with the historical significance of Newnan and Coweta County, Georgia; to provide a medium for the expression of aims and aspirations of the people of Newnan and Coweta County that will reflect the best thinking and planning of the development of the heritage and historical tradition of the life of this area, and provide an agency through which the people of the town and county may voluntarily pool their energies to accomplish an organized and developed establishment for the furtherance of historical values contained and made a part of Newnan and Coweta County , and to all things needful and necessary to accomplish these aims."
