Opened October 5, 2019 at the 31st Oliver Hardy Festival in Harlem, Georgia. The Harlem Museum provides the history of the city and a bit about Columbia County. 

Shortly after the first Oliver Hardy Festival in 1989, the City of Harlem received various Laurel & Hardy objects. As time passed, this collection grew larger. As a result, the original Laurel & Hardy Museum of Georgia opened in July 2022. This part of the Museum moved from its previous location at the time of the Harlem Museum and Welcome Center grand opening in 2019. This current location has more space and a better exhibition area to be able to tell the phenomenal story of Laurel and Hardy and their impact on society.
