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.
We're one step closer to the
needed new roof!
The school system and the contractors met
on January.22nd, at which time the contractor said he will be starting the
roofing project
"within the next two weeks." He thinks the actual job will take
4-5 days, if the weather cooperates.
We will not have to close the Museum, but
there may be a day or so that we cannot use our parking area.
If you come to the Museum during that time, you may have to
leave your vehicle in the park at the foot of the hill.
Next Museum event:
Open
House Sunday, January 29, 2012 – 2-5 p.m.
Featuring
the
exhibit
celebrating 100 years of girl scouting in America.
Meet your friends and get rid of the
winter doldrums! Refreshments will be provided.
Note that
if
we have icy roads or accumulating snow, we will not have the Open
House.
Call the Museum if you are uncertain, at
(828) 758-4004.
