For 90 years, the Historical Association of Catawba County has preserved the places, objects, and stories that define our community. From the iconic 1924 Courthouse Museum of History to Murray’s Mill, the Harper House, and the Bunker Hill Covered Bridge, generations of supporters have helped ensure that our local heritage remains alive and accessible for future generations.

Today, we invite you to be part of the next chapter.

As we celebrate our 90th anniversary and prepare for America’s 250th birthday, we are launching our annual campaign to strengthen our mission and expand the ways we share history with our community. Your gift will help preserve our historic sites, care for collections, support educational programs, and create innovative digital exhibits that bring the stories of Catawba County to life for audiences near and far.

History is more than artifacts and buildings. It is the story of the people who built our communities, defended our freedoms, created our industries, and shaped our future. By supporting this campaign, you help ensure that those stories continue to inspire, educate, and connect generations.

Every donation makes a difference. Whether funding preservation projects, supporting student learning experiences, recording oral histories, or developing interactive digital content, your generosity helps us preserve our heritage while embracing new opportunities to share it.

Together, we can honor the past, share the story, and fund the future.

Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the Historical Association of Catawba County's Annual Campaign. Your investment today will help safeguard our community's history for tomorrow.

Goal: $100,000

Join us in preserving the stories that matter and creating new ways for future generations to discover them.
