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.

We Got a Facelift!
With grants from Granville's CPC, and your support, the museum building got a much needed facelift. We are a National Historic registered building and had the clapboards replaced and painted to match the original facade. Check out pictures below!
We were only able to budget doing the front of the building in 2023. With your help we can fully refinish the sides of the building as well. To help contribute to the project click here to donate to the cause.

We need your help keeping living history alive and relevant at NCCHP. If you have a suggestion for a program, topic or artist, please email us.
Note: All NCCHP living history events are free to museum members and free will donations from others of $5 - $10 to offset appearance fees are appreciated. Light refreshments will be served after the program.
Our monthly programs are made possible in part by grants from the Massachusetts and Granville Cultural Councils and donations from members and friends of the museum. Thanks in advance for your support to keep the drumbeat of history alive!

NCCHP Membership Update
NCCHP is looking forward to welcoming our friends, members and volunteers to take a step back in time again for tours and monthly living history events at the museum.
We appreciate the support many of you provided during the COVID years when we were closed in 2020 and 2021. The annual membership drives were paused during the pandemic when finances were so tight for so many people. If you are currently in a position to donate or pay 2024 membership dues at this time it would be greatly appreciated.
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!
