The newly expanded Randolph County Heritage Museum is now open — and the new Ruth Ann Cox Agricultural and Rural Life Galleries are packed with incredible pieces of our region’s story.
From fascinating farm equipment and rural artifacts to personal stories, photographs, and one-of-a-kind treasures, this expansion more than doubles the exhibit space and brings Randolph County’s deep agricultural roots to life in a powerful way.
Located on the historic courthouse square, the museum continues its mission of preserving the people, traditions, and hard work that shaped this community — and this new addition makes it an even more must-see stop.
If you love small-town history, cool memorabilia, and discovering the stories behind the places we call home, this is worth the visit.
