Caldwell Heritage Museum
Come see us!
The Museum opened in 1991 and is dedicated to preserving and
presenting the
history of Caldwell County, North Carolina, primarily through about
two dozen
permanent exhibits and rotating special exhibits.
In case you
missed the Museum's fund raising exhibit entitled "Some
birds of Caldwell County in the
words and paintings of
John James Audubon",
here are a few pictures
from the event.
Close to 50 people stopped by in the
course of the afternoon.
