If you search WWI uniforms you will see they are highly "collectable" and for such a complete outfit with medals and unit known ans a little family history makes it more so. Make sure if you want it to be kept as a whole in museum you might stipulate so. Otherwise it might be sold off to raise money.
Did a Google search of GA Veterans Museums and here are a couple of results:
GA State Park with a Veterans Museum
