On the way to visit my daughter at her new home in South Carolina we noticed a sign on I-20 from Atlanta for the Laural an Hardy Museum. Out of curiosity we got of the interstate and drove the few short miles to the museum in Harlem, GA. The museum is a small building but it is packed with big... More

Years of contributions from private collections has made this a very interesting museum to visit, if you are the least bit enamored of the comedy duo. Be sure to check the visiting hours... More

Small hometown museum. Good collection of artifacts. Continual showings of Laurel and Hardy films. Nostalgic. More

This small gem of a museum, containing seemingly every type of Laurel and Hardy memorabilia imaginable, has been assembled with loving care. There is a small theater in the back. Simply ask for the L and H movie of your choice, and it will be played for you. The volunteer on the day of our visit was very friendly and... More

This is a tiny but comprehensive museum located in, Harlem, Georgia, the birthplace of Norvell Hardy. It is a charming stop along a barren stretch of I-20. Well worth the time! Enjoyed viewing some of the old films. More

My kids love Laurel and Hardy so we took a day trip out to Harlem. We loved the museum and so did the kids, although it would have been better if they had some more souvineers. Very cute place! More

I was priviledged to visit The Laurel and Hardy Museum on 4/11/11 with a group from Carolina Tours located in Lexington SC. Up until this time, I wasn't aware of this museum or even the town of Harlem, Ga. I was very impressed with everything I saw and with the hospitality of the lady in charge that day. My only... More

I'm an avid Laurel and Hardy fan. It's touching to know that their memory is kept alive by the dedication of the museum staff. It's clear that they're doing what they do because they believe, as do I, that Laurel and Hardy have a special place in entertainment history. No comedy duo since has matched their timing, complimentary personalities and... More

This small museum has lots of memorabilia from this great old comedy pair. Our docent was enthusiastic and well informed. We spent about an hour, but the serious fan could certainly browse for longer. A high point was seeing some of Laurel and Hardy's short films. More
