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...and more! This month features pictures of the newly "restored" 1924 Model T truck that made it's debut in the Granville 4th of July parade. You can see at the museum when you come for a tour. Check out all the cool stuff on the blog here.
What's Happening Next at NCCHP:
Reminder: The museum is open for tours on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month from noon to 3:00 through October 9th.
Covid-19 Update for NCCHP After nearly three years of being closed the museum is optimistic about opening again. At NCCHP we are looking forward to safely welcoming our NCCHP friends, members and volunteers to take a step back in time again for tours and living history events at the museum. Many of you have asked about the 2020 and 2021 membership drives and while May has traditionally been “Membership Month” at NCCHP it didn’t feel right to ask people for dues during a pandemic when finances are so tight for so many people. If you are currently in a position to donate or pay 2022 membership dues at this time it would be greatly appreciated as we continue to have monthly expenses to "keep the lights on" and have had no reliable income stream for some time. Thanks in advance for keeping the museum and its mission alive. Hope to see you and your families at 42 Water Street in the near future! |
