General Info

The Laurel and Hardy Museum of Harlem, Georgia opened in 2002 and is the ONLY museum in the United States dedicated to comedians Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Harlem, Georgia is the birthplace of Oliver Norvell Hardy. The original museum combined with the Harlem Museum and Welcome Center after the 2019 renovation of the Columbia Theatre, one of Harlem's historic buildings that was built in the 1940s! We have changed things up a lot here and show less of the objects on display. We rotate our collection so we can better care for the objects and to keep the clutter to a minimum. Admission is still FREE and DONATIONS appreciated!The Laurel and Hardy Museum of Harlem, Georgia opened in 2002 and is the ONLY museum in the United States dedicated to comedians Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.
