MCDOWELL COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY MISSION STATEMENT
Preserving-Sharing-Connecting
McDowell County Historical Society works within the community to explore local history. Our community beginnings are explored and developed by writing and preserving facts, documents, and various other material of local significance and by doing research about the history of the people of McDowell County from earliest habitation to the present.
In our efforts to collect, preserve and interpret genealogical, biographical, architectural, cultural and historical matter pertaining to our residents, we are able to make open to the public valuable resources, hold meetings, create exhibits and run special events for educational and enjoyment purposes. We act in cooperation with other public and private entities to promote awareness of and interest in McDowell history and heritage as well as the present and future development of the County of McDowell.
