The Catawba County Museum of History offers testimony to the hardy settlers of the Catawba River Valley and their resourceful descendants who carved a world-renowned furniture and textile empire out of the backwoods.

It is the story of the American Dream as perceived by the self-sufficient Scotch-Irish, German, English and African peoples who followed the Native American trails along the Catawba River. The story is artfully displayed in the unique setting of the former 1924 Catawba County Courthouse.
