The building that now houses the Paulding County History Museum was originally the first schoolhouse in Dallas. For many years it functioned as an Academy for the children of Dallas and the surroundin

g countryside. In the 1890’s the building became a residence and was later acquired by the First United Methodist Church of Dallas. Recognizing the historical significance of the building the Methodist Church donated it to the Paulding County Historical Society in 1995. On January 19, 1997, the school was moved to its current location at 295 North Johnston Street. There, it was restored to it’s near original condition and dedicated as the Paulding County History Museum on June 13, 1999. More information is at our website - pchsm.org

If Ben Pickett had lived to see the apple trees blossom, he would have found his way home with the retreating Army of Tennessee. His regiment in Joe Wheeler's cavalry would fight on the doorsteps of his house, while other Confederate troopers formed lines on the creek bank, by the mill, in the timber, among the grain fields and by the vacant houses. When May 27, 1864, came, Paulding County boys who had grown up on the banks of the creek and lived within shouting distance of the mill would be fighting across the same fields their own families and neighbors had plowed, planted and harvested.

Ben Pickett was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga on September 19, 1863.
