Welcome To NCCHP!

The NCCHP museum was founded in 2007 to preserve & incorporate the rich history of Granville and the surrounding areas. The museum is housed within the historic buildings of the Noble & Cooley drum factory. The buildings & original equipment at the site offer a unique opportunity to experience "Yankee Ingenuity" as it impacted manufacturing from the mid-1800's forward.

Dick and Tom have been working very hard on cleaning, sorting, and archiving over 150 years worth of treasures.  Check out the blog  that showcases some of their amazing finds.  This month features pictures of the new space being built out for a new "digitization station".  You can go visit here.

Contribute to NCCHP When You Shop Amazon - At No Cost To You!

 If you plan to use Amazon to do any of your holiday shopping and are not yet using Amazon's charity benefit program PLEASE KEEP READING because you can easily benefit NCCHP at no additional cost to you.

​When you use AmazonSmile, Amazon will donate a portion of the sale amount to the eligible non-profit organization of your choice.  They will charge you the same price for your purchase whether or not you use the charity feature, so why not help the Noble& Cooley Center For Historic Preservation while you shop?  It's free for you and good for NCCHP.

​Although the donation amount may seem small, when enough people participate it can really add up because it is applied to every eligible purchase made on AmazonSmile throughout the year, not just at the holidays.

​A few NCCHP museum supporters are already signed up and their experience has been simple and trouble-free. The sign-up process is also simple and one-time.  Please consider signing up for the program so NCCHP can benefit from Amazon's generosity to non-profits.

​For more information and to select Noble & Cooley Center For Historic Preservation as your AmazonSmile non-profit of choice, please go to:  AmazonSmile Information .
