Northern Wayne Heritage Museum

The Northern Wayne Heritage Museum shares the history of northern Wayne County and the surrounding communities, including the Town of Pikeville.

The museum preserves photographs, documents, and historical objects that tell the story of the people who lived and worked in the area. These items help visitors learn about the early settlement of the community, local agriculture, schools, churches, and businesses.

Many of the artifacts in the museum have been donated by local families. Their contributions help protect and share the history of the region for future generations.
