This is an amazing place full of history on the Belmont, NC area. Eva was very helpful and pointed out yearbooks from which my mom's photos were located. I could spend hours in there learning more about the town for which my mom grew up. It correlated well with the memories she shared with me growing up. I highly recommend anyone to check it out.

Housed in a historical home of one if the founding families of Belmont. On site is a kitchen located behind the house, a victory garden and mill house. Great local pictures and artifacts. The mill house was moved to the property and lovingly restored and furnished like it was when built. The volunteers are wonderful and full of stories about Belmont and the artifacts in the home. It is a free visit, although there is a donation box next to the sign in register. Worth the visit and a donation ! ( they are currently restoring the kitchen and a small train engine the ran as a ride in the local Stowe park back in the 1940/50''s. ).
