The Moore County Historical Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing, the rich historical legacy of the towns, cities and surrounding area, of Moore County, North Carolina. It was established on March 7, 1946 and is the oldest historical association in continuous operation in North Carolina. It has never flagged in its efforts to preserve the culture of the region.
The Association is a 501(c) (3) organization headquartered at the historic Shaw House in Southern Pines, North Carolina. It is supported by our subsidiary custom soap line, membership, donations, sales of books, gift shop merchandise, and proceeds from fundraisers. Through this support, the Association focuses on community enrichment through the presentation of exhibits, an educational outreach program including speakers and programs for all ages, the offering of a research library and photo archives, and hosting of special events.
The Association recognizes its obligation to bring a sense of place and belonging to all citizens of Moore County. In so doing, over two hundred members and friends support the Association through donations of money, time and talent. All activities are initiated and run by volunteer friends and members of the MCHA. Our dreams are ambitious, but the Association has a history of doing the seemingly impossible through shear enthusiasm and hard work.
