The Wayne County Historical Society is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and interpreting the history of Wayne County. Founded in 1904, today the Historical Society operates a campus with eight buildings, including a pioneer-era log house, a mid-19th century general store, and the Beall-Stibbs homestead, begun in 1816 and completed in the early 1820s by War of 1812 veteran General Reasin Beall.
This all volunteer Society depends entirely on donations, fundraisers, and admission fees, including the investment income from four permanently endowed funds under the management of the Wayne County Community Foundation.
With your help, the Wayne County Historical Society can continue to educate future generations about this area’s fascinating heritage.
Guided tours are available on Saturdays at 1 and 2:30 p.m., from March through December.
Our office hours are Tuesday – Friday, 1 to 5 p.m.
