Reviews
"Such an impressive display of how our Nation has maintained our freedom - and EXCELLENT place to visit, regardless of age!"
"Really enjoyed! 3 floors of exhibits including pottery, musical instruments and a courthouse. Free but appreciates donations. Had fun."
"Becoming Part of Newton's History During our exploration trip accross Catawba County (approx. 50 mi NW from our base in Charlotte) we decided to check out the area's History Museum. A sweet lady, Jessica, welcomed us and gave us some instructios on how to get the most out of our self-guided tour of the museum that artfully displays its exhibits in the setting of Catawba County's 1924 Courthouse in downtown Newton. What we and Herold Little (our company mascot) saw and experienced can best be described through the photos attached so you may want to enjoy these before you come to visit Newton yourself! We at PHIL'S WORLD TRAVEL suggest all our customers to invest some hours to visit Newton and its impressive vicinity when in the area. You'll love it. And its lovely residents as well!"
"Love museums, and even better that they are in old buildings. This place is in a 1924 courthouse and has lots of cool displays. I love that you can visit the commissioners floor and it’s very clean. They have a small kids room with dress up items, etc. To top it all off, the admission is free."
"This was a nice place to visit while roaming the North Carolina countryside. Very informative exhibits in what was the old catawba county courthouse. Best part of it all the entrance fee was 0.00."
