While you are here, please make sure to check out the Museum’s current exhibit, Something for the Girls: GSUSA -100 years. The exhibit celebrates the founding of the Girl Scouts in America 100 years ago, and features artifacts from the central and western North Carolina regions.
The cost of admission is free, however donations are appreciated. All donations go towards supporting the museum’s mission of informing the public of the history of the City of Kings Mountain and surrounding areas by preserving and exhibiting the 19th and early 20th century collection.
