What visitors say
Small museum containing local history, information, and artifacts. The nice man who works there gave us so much interesting information about the contents of the museum and the area. The museum is located in an old house and has some…
We dropped off a doll that we had purchased at an estate sale last year. A 1996 Dogwood Festival Doll, #1/ 100. Sure did not want it just being disposed of, and we are happy she has a new home.
Small building and limited hours, but they give you a really great tour of their collections, carefully gathered and curated over many years.
