Our state history museums seek to capture the spirit of North Carolina and its people by interpreting more than 14,000 years of history with a collection of more than 350,000 objects.
The flagship North Carolina Museum of History and six regional museums in Asheville, Beaufort, Fayetteville, Hatteras, Old Fort and Southport encourage you to discover the Tar Heel State’s past and to reflect on your life and place in history.
Interactive, engaging exhibits make history accessible to everyone, and a regular schedule of hands-on activities, lectures, films and other event make all of our museums perfect places for family fun.
On-site and distance education programs offer students the chance to experience history no matter where they are.
