Operators of the Nash Farm Battlefield Museum in Hampton, Georgia, have decided to close the five-year old Civil War museum after a Henry County commissioner demanded removal of Confederate artifacts.
The museum has been run by a nonprofit organization to commemorate the site of an August 1864 battle in the American Civil War. It’s been housed in a historic building in what has been a Henry County park.
Commissioner Dee Clemmons, an African-American woman, began her demands on the museum with a request to remove a Confederate flag displayed on a flagpole.

This is just one more attempt to erase Brutus’ attack on Caesar. The battles happened and your pompous attitude is not going to change that. Commissioner Dee Clemons has acted under the guise of authority and should be bounced unceremoniously from office. Maybe we should close the holocaust Museum because showing the evil side of man is contemptuous to “do-gooders.”
We cannot change or deny history, period. We CAN learn from our history to avoid repeating those painful mistakes in the future. We CANNOT learn if the museums, who so carefully protect our history, are shut down. I sincerely hope Henry County reconsiders this “politically (in)correct knee jerk action and reopens the museum. A handful are “offended”; thousands others learn. I support learning to protect our future.
Why are people LETTING her do this? Recall her………get rid of this racist person who wants to deny history. If people don’t stand up, our history will be erased for generations to come. These people are IDIOTS. Don’t permit it to happen.
The County will only hurt themselves. Tourism brings money and jobs to battlefield sites. The county could always use tourist money.
It appears she is playing the race card that’s all they have to do to get what they want the museum is for everyone so if u don’t like what it has stay out of it don’t make everyone else do with out just cause u don’t like it leave history alone no matter what u can’t change it just learn from it if u can I like to watch them
Leftwingers like that “commissioner” are crooked political gangsters. The museum is a CIVIL WAR museum, it’s supposed to have both Confederate and USA flags of the time period.
Good decision! If they can’t tell about both sides of the Civil War, then there is no point in telling ANY of it! Let ’em the whiners stumble around in ignorance and denial.
So what has been accomplished, for the good of the community, by these actions. Pure racial by an up and coming full blooded racist. How does she validate, what has she proved by this. Made our community a better place? Cut down on armed robberies in the county, crime as a whole. Seems she has one agenda, created more racial disparity and stir the pot. Bet your ass that reparations are not far in the future….what an obvious joke she is…
You can’t fix Stupid. How did this fool get put into ANY position?
Oust her. She just wants to be seen. What about all the others who want the history. It’s people like this That devide our country. Put a stop to it.
