History notes:

The Murfreesboro Historical Association, Inc. was chartered in 1966. It had no property but it did have a small group of enthusiastic members determined to save the historic heritage of the town. Today, the Murfreesboro Historical Association has more than 300 members and its holdings include ten historic buildings, three museums and two cemeteries.

The mission of the Murfreesboro Historical Association, Inc. is to preserve and interpret the architectural and cultural heritage of the Town of Murfreesboro, North Carolina. In fulfilling this mission, the Association encourages and supports actively the acquisition, restoration, and rehabilitation of significant historic properties throughout the local areas as well as the revitalization of the Town’s older neighborhoods and central business district.

The Association collects, researches and preserves historical objects and artifacts that relate directly to the cultural values of the area. These objects, displayed in museum settings, form an educational resource through which their meaning can be made clear in historic context. They are offered to the public to illustrate realistically the broad patterns, themes, and trends that constitute Murfreesboro’s history.
