The Stokes County Historical Society was established in 1968, as an all volunteer organization to preserve the history of Stokes County in the State of North Carolina. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with no federal, state or local funding. Our funding is limited to membership fees, individual donations, as well as, two limited foundation grants. We have grown over the years, obtaining three historical properties, including the circa 1850s Wilson Fulton House, which is now The Stokes County Museum of Regional History, the circa 1770 Jack Martin "Rock House" and the 1905 Bank of Stokes. The SCHS helped to establish the Gypsy Hollingsworth Local History Room in the Danbury Library and published Volume I and Volume II of The Heritage of Stokes County, as well as other historical publications. We welcome new members and encourage you to join our efforts to preserve our history. We have four to six historical programs each year which are held in different locations around the county, and host four to six open house events each year at the museum. Please check our Program Notes page for the schedule of events. Our programs are free and open to the public. To receive our newsletters, published five to six times a year, please support us by becoming a member. Memberships are $25.00 per household each year (January - December).
