True West. In the Deep South.

Five hours. 

That's how long my pal Dory and I spent at the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville yesterday.

Five, air-conditioned, aesthetically enriching hours enhanced by (employee) Robert Hyde's storytelling.  When you go, ask him where the phrase "read between the lines" came from.  Hint:  it involves the Civil War.

This privately funded, expertly curated museum--with the largest collection of Western art east of the Mississippi--rivals the world's finest. And it's located less than an hour north of Atlanta.

You'll be transported to the West--with a Southern drawl.
