Exhibits

Our current exhibi

Our exhibits include letters, weapons, items from the arsenal located in Rowan County, and artifacts from the Salisbury Confederate prison including original lithographs done by prisoners.

This room showcases the business and professional life of our community, including advertising, finance, medical, general stores, distilleries, hotels and more.

Rowan’s communities are highlighted, as are our churches and education.

A Nissen covered wagon dominates this room and makes a great conversation piece to discuss traveling the Great Wagon Road to settle Rowan County. Other exhibits include Granite and Quarry displays, Carpenter’s tools, and Blacksmith items. Also tools related to wheel-making and Field and Forest tools.

At present, there are exhibits on WWI and WWII
