Kings Mountain Historical Museum Foundation

Kings Mountain Historical Museum Foundation

The Kings Mountain Historical Museum is located in a former post office built in 1939 and is on the…read moreNational Register of Historic Places. The museum has street parking in the front and a small lot in the back. Admission to the museum is free but they do take donations. The exhibits seem to rotate here and while I was there they had Moonshine & Motorsports. So I got to learn about NASCAR and moonshine. The museum is laid out well and the exhibits have a lot of artifacts and storyboards to tell the stories. While the rotating exhibits and building were wonderful, I wanted to learn more about Kings Mountain.

Probably the thing I like most about this place is the building itself. It is the old Kings…read moreMountain Post Office and it has been well refurbished. I want to remodel this place and live here! Huge granite steps out front, rich woodwork inside, copper light fixtures, a safe, the postmaster's office. Saw a toy and train exhibition today. A large model train set filled the main room rounding the track through a winter scene. Cases with antique toys were around the periphery. There is a gift shop with pottery, paintings, cards and other assorted gifts. Not quite sure what they display in this small museum during the year. Yes, the exhibit was small, but it was fun, free and close to home. Donations can be made if you wish. If the weather permits, check out the old cabin that they relocated to the rear of the property.

The museum is small but cute. Best for children 2 - 4 years old. Most of the front desk staff are…read morewelcoming. But the staff in the back must not have children. I'm not sure that they even like children. When my older children were little, I used to bring them and that staff would interact with the kids and parents. Most of this staff just sits on side, ignoring children and adults. There is one lady, Miss Wendy that all of my kids love, but she's not there very much. They had an event this weekend and I am glad that we went in the afternoon. My friend got turned away in the morning only an hour after they opened. She said that staff very rudely told her that she should have gotten there earlier. Her children were heartbroken. They did have some people, mainly teenagers with volunteer name tags who were very nice. My little adored the older gentleman who played with him. They had the upstairs set up really cute with a Winnie-the-Pooh exhibit. But unfortunately, they said that it would only be there for that day. They had friendly teens in that space playing with the kids. Admission is not worth it, but their membership is a good value because it includes other museums.

It's ok. I'll leave it at that. It's a lot smaller than I expected and there really wasn't too much…read moreto do. I think the best age for this museum is under 3. My 4 year old got bored pretty quickly. There also just wasn't a lot to do. There is a dress up area, but it only had a few items, same with the kitchen and pirate ship. I have to agree with another reviewer that the staff wasn't friendly. They were more concerned with everything getting cleaned up. iI's a children's museum - there's supposed to be a level of mess, but when a kid puts a doll at the table and then goes to the kitchen area and you put the doll back, maybe think "was that kid getting food to play feed the doll?"and not assume they were leaving it. Also, parents - there's an overpriced gift/toy section in the front that you can't avoid. Bright side - there's some fun lunch and treat spots close by.

The Earl Scruggs Center is located in Downtown Shelby in the 1907 built Cleveland County…read moreCourthouse. Free parking is available on the street. The entrance is on the Washington Street side of the building. Make sure to stop at the smaller building outside as that is where you buy your tickets and receive your earbuds. From there you can proceed inside the renovated courthouse and a docent with start the introduction film then explain what order to go through the museum. The Center opened in 2014. I did not know who Earl Scruggs was before my visit. The North Carolina Musicians Mural Trail brought me to Shelby, NC. But he was a well-known banjo player and who had his own style of playing while developing the sounds of bluegrass. Besides Scruggs, the museum tells some of the history of Cleveland County. The Rotunda has the instruments used by the Scruggs family. In These Hills tells Earl Scrugg's story and has some interactive exhibits. There is a board where you can listen to his music and that of other artists. Out of Carolina is the next room and covers the next stage in Scruggs career. The radio history, Shelby Dynasty and textile mills in the area. Turning Road is the last room covers the Civil Rights Movement, textile mills closing, and changing music styles. I recommend a visit to the center if you are near Shelby.

Very interactive and interesting to learn about Earl Scruggs and bluegrass music. I enjoyed it…read morewith my family.

To imagine Thomas Edison being in Dallas thinking of inventions. Inventing the dynamo! To imagine life in the mill days. To imagine life in the olden days! The art exhibits were fun too! I wish I remember our volunteer's name , he made the experience vivid and we learned a lot! Truly exciting! Great exhibition!

Once you get a quick run down of the history of the historical building you begin a self guided tour that was 4 year old approved. Not all exhibits are fully geared at children either. It is well blended to allow children to be stimulated while adults are able to take in the rich history. We lost track of the time and ended up spending 3 hours & still didn't see everything!! We will go back another time for sure!! There is no charge but donations should be made. I gave 5 bucks b.c it was what I had on hand & we bought some stuff at the gift shop. It's an awesome little gem and a great way to spend the day for any age group. If you haven't been check it out!! Lamar gave us our historical over view and made sure we had a fantastic afternoon. I always appreciate a friendly staff.
