Come visit the Seven Springs Museum at the Historic Bodiford House on "Super Museum Sunday," a day where historic sites, museums and other points of interest show Georgians that glimpses into our history can often be found right in our own backyards.
Powder Springs has a full schedule of events that occur both in the downtown area and throughout the city. There is always plenty of parking and most events are free to the public. There is something for every age and interest!
The City of Powder Springs proudly announces the grand opening of a powerful new Black history exhibit at Powder Springs City Hall at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026. The public is invited to attend this special event celebrating history, culture and global connections.
Hosted by Powder Springs Mayor Al Thurman, the exhibit highlights the deep historical ties between Sierra Leone and Georgia, illuminating stories of African heritage, resilience, and legacy that shaped the region. The exhibit was curated by Kennesaw State University (KSU) and is being gifted to The Before Slavery Experience, marking a significant collaboration between academic scholarship and community education.
“This exhibit is an opportunity for our community to engage with history in a meaningful and transformative way,” Thurman said. “We invite everyone to come out, learn, and reflect on the profound connections that link Powder Springs, Georgia, to Sierra Leone and the broader African diaspora.”
The exhibit will be on display at Powder Springs City Hall from Feb. 1 through March 2026, offering residents, students, and visitors ample time to explore its historical narratives and educational materials.
As part of the exhibit’s programming, Before Slavery Experience Board Member and KSU Professor Dr. Seneca Vaught will present a public lecture on March 26, 2026, at 6 p.m., providing deeper insight into the exhibit’s themes and the historical significance of the Sierra Leone–Georgia connection.

Powder Springs partnered with OpenGov in 2025 to implement a more efficient, cost-saving, paperless solution for our business community to renew their Occupational Tax Certificates and Alcohol Licenses. The renewal process is completely online. There is no need to mail, email or come in person – just have an email address and you are ready to go at your convenience.
By modernizing our licensing software, the City can better serve its growing population and future renewal campaigns will be streamlined with retained information to reduce recurring data requirements for our applicants.
OpenGov also provides applicants with real time status of their renewal process through immediate email notifications and anytime access to your account through the City’s OpenGov portal.
Additionally, payment processing is housed inside the software providing a seamless process from start to finish.
Throughout the software, there are help text boxes to provide more guidance. When you see a blue question mark with a circle around it, there is more direction available. Many pages also provide an overview of how/what is needed to complete the step.
Please plan to complete your renewal via the portal. Should you have a question, please email licensing@powderspringsga.gov.
