Gala raises money to renovate historic Imperial Hotel in Thomasville Jack Hadley s Black History Museum works to save Thomasville s Imperial Hotel and last updated 2021-02-26 18:34:25-05 THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WTXL) — If you ve driven into Thomasville, more than likely you ve passed the Imperial Hotel. The now-empty building was once a safe place for African-American travelers. Now, there s an effort to save the landmark and preserve its history by the Jack Hadley Black History Museum. The hotel was an eight-bedroom hotel with one bath upstairs. The downstairs was a beauty and barbershop and a small cafe, said museum owner Jack Hadley. We plan to make an Air BnB out of it and use the downstairs as a rotating exhibit.
