Union County Museum

"The Union County Museum and Union County Historical Society have recently undergone some changes. These changes have or will be to the detriment of what used to be one of the BEST museums in the state. They used to care about preserving our history, the good and bad, but now they want to whitewash and sugarcoat our past. They don’t want to have the reenactment because it looks bad on our town. Wake up!!! If we don’t teach and learn from our past, we are doomed to repeat it. Just because you don’t like parts of it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!!! Unbelievable!!!"

"Search Facebook for Union County Museum or Union County Historical Society to see recent event and comments. It may surprise you. It used to be about preserving the past not trying to change it."

"I grew up in Union County and love all the history that lives there under your nose. A must go museum!! Please leave a donation of $10-20 if you go. Don't be a tightwad as it comes to protecting history!"

"We visited the museum for the first time today. There were lots of items on display pertaining to the history of Union County. There were exhibits about the military, doctors & medical history. Also the once thriving textile industry which was a major economic part of Union's history! They have huge area of researching family genealogy. Hope to go back another day with more time to visit."

"Fun place to go. Small town museum and has the county feel. May be small, but has a big heart for a museum. Has many exhibits and good history. But I was most impressed with the table, used for the Civil War. Waiting to take my brother. Go, it's fun, interesting, you will learn stuff and history."
