The Rowlesburg Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history of Rowlesburg, West Virginia. The society was established in 1983 and has since then been actively involved in collecting, preserving and displaying artifacts, documents, and photographs that showcase the town's past.

The Rowlesburg Historical Society operates a museum that features exhibits on the town's history, including displays on the Civil War and railroading, which were critical to the town's development. The museum is open to the public and provides guided tours, educational programs, and research facilities for visitors.

The society also organizes events, such as the annual Heritage Weekend, which celebrates the town's cultural and historical heritage, including traditional music, food, and crafts.

The Rowlesburg Historical Society has played a significant role in the preservation and restoration of many of the town's historic buildings, including the B&O Railroad Depot, which has been restored to its 1911 appearance and is now a museum and community center.

The society is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that the town's history is not forgotten. Their efforts have helped to create a greater appreciation for Rowlesburg's past and have fostered a sense of community pride in the town's heritage.
