HAW RIVER HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

HAW RIVER, NC

The Haw River Historical Association is a non-profit organization located in Haw River, North Carolina, dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history and culture of the town and its surrounding areas. Founded in 2002, the association's mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret the history of the Haw River area, educate the public about the town's history, and promote community involvement in historical preservation.

The association operates out of a restored 1880s farmhouse that houses an extensive collection of artifacts and documents related to the history of the town and its people. The museum is open to the public on weekends and by appointment during the week. The association also hosts events throughout the year, including historical lectures, tours, and festivals.

One of the association's main initiatives is the restoration and preservation of the Haw River Depot, a historic train station that dates back to the early 20th century. The depot was once a bustling hub of activity, serving as a stop for both passenger and freight trains. Today, the association is working to restore the building and transform it into a museum and cultural center.
