The Stanly County Museum’s Heritage Gallery is a semi-permanent display of a variety of objects representing Stanly County’s history. Exhibit themes include histories of law enforcement, medicine, locally made furniture, and education. The artifacts are rotated in and out of their cases regularly to keep the displays new and interesting.
Rotating Exhibits
The Museum’s Rotating Exhibit Case can be found in the Museum’s entry hall. Currently, the Museum’s rotating exhibit features a variety of objects from Starnes’ Jewelry Store, the oldest retail store in Stanly County. Artifacts on loan from the store include vintage eye glasses, reservoir pens, vintage jewelry, and vintage local advertisements. The exhibit will remain on display until autumn 2009.
