Historic Cabarrus Association, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated
to the preservation of the heritage of Cabarrus County and the City of
Concord.
We achieve this goal through a variety of means, including our management
of two museums in Historic Downtown Concord:
The Cabarrus County Veterans Museum,
through which we honor the County’s servicemen from World War
I to the current day.
The Concord Museum, which archives
historical artifacts from Cabarrus County’s pioneer days to twentieth-century
businesses and schools.
We also conduct a host of outreach activities and produce print and video materials in our efforts to educate residents, students, and visitors about our community’s rich history.
Currently at the Concord Museum
and Cabarrus County Veterans Museum
The Concord Museum has moved to a new location: the Historic Courthouse at 65 Union Street South in downtown Concord. Museum hours are Mondays through Fridays and most Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Our current exhibit is "The Concord Camera," viewing Concord's history through photography. Admission is free. (NOTE: The Concord Museum will be closed Friday 5/18-Saturday 6/2 for an exhibit change.)
The Cabarrus County Veterans Museum has also moved to a new location: the rotunda of the Cabarrus County Governmental Center at 65 Church Street. This is a temporary location, through the end of June, but positive feedback from the community may help extend our stay at this site. Museum hours are Mondays through Fridays, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free.

"STITCHED IN TIME" DOCUMENTARY A BIG HIT!
The May 17th Gem Theatre premiere of the local textile documentary
Stitched in Time, an exploration of our county's textile heritage, was a huge success, attracting between 700-800 people!
Produced as the class project for the Leadership Cabarrus Class of 2012 in conjunction with Historic Cabarrus Association and other partners,
Stitched in Time will be available as a DVD in the Concord Museum Gift Shop beginning Monday, June 4th. Discussions are underway about additional theater screenings.
Historic Cabarrus Association wishes to thank the Leadership Cabarrus Class of 2012 and the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce for donating to us a new HD videocamera so that we may continue capturing the stories of the mill workers -- plus veterans, teachers, and other locals -- who helped make Cabarrus County great. Thank you, Leadership Cabarrus!
