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.

Covid-19 Update for NCCHP Museum The museum is not currently open and as there is only one month remaining before our seasonal closing in October we will remain closed until the 2021 season. The opening date will be dependent on the Governor's plan for museums with regard to reduced admissions criteria, employing social distancing, hygiene protocols and more. At NCCHP we are looking forward to the day that we can safely welcome our NCCHP friends, members and volunteers to take a step back in time again for tours and living history events at the museum. In the meantime, we hope that you all stay safe and healthy in these trying times. Many of you have asked about the 2020 membership drive 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 in a position to donate or pay membership dues at this time it would be greatly appreciated as we have monthly expenses to "keep the lights on". If you need to wait or skip a year, we understand that as well. 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! |
