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.
Need Volunteers for the 38th Annual Granville Harvest Fair - October 12 - 14
