Edna Reindel Mural
“Experimenting with the First Model of the Cotton Gin” was a mural painted by Edna Reindel in 1939 for the Works Progress 
Administration (WPA). The mural depicts Eli Whitney consulting his plans while he instructs workers on the operation of the cotton gin. Whitney’s invention hugely increased the volume of cotton processed and made the cultivation of cotton extremely lucrative for the American South. Known as one of America’s foremost painters and sculptors, Reindel completed several murals between 1937 and 1942. The mural is located in the annex of the Emanuel County Courthouse and can be viewed during regular Courthouse hours, Mon-Fri., 8am to 5pm.

The Historic Dixie Theatre
Opened in 1934 by William and Fannie Mae Karrh at 107 North Green Street, The Dixie Theatre was Swainsboro’s second movie theater. This single screen cinema contained lower level and balcony seating and played new movies seven days a week until the late 1960s. The theater was recently donated to the City of Swainsboro by the Karrh family for renovation. The Barbara & Tobe Karrh Community Arts Center featuring the Historic Dixie Theatre will show first-run movies, host live performances, house offices and gallery space for the Emanuel Arts Council, and include community event and educational space.
