Caldwell Heritage Museum

The Caldwell Heritage Museum was opened in 1991 and is dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of Caldwell County, North Carolina, through about two dozen permanent exhibits and rotating special exhibits. The museum is housed in the last remaining building of Davenport College, a prestigious institution of higher learning for women that was supported by the Methodist Church from 1855 to 1933.

The Caldwell Heritage Museum is located in Lenoir, conveniently near Highway 321, Highway 18, and Interstate-40.  In town, the exhibit hall is located at 112 Vaiden Street behind the Davenport School.

Directions: From Highway 321, turn West on NC 18. Make a right onto Mulberry Street. Turn left on to College Avenue at the first traffic light. Go through the next light, and make an immediate left on Vaiden Street, opposite the St. James Episcopal Church. The museum is on the right.

      Operating hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10:00am until 4:30pm, and on Saturdays from 10:00am until 3:00pm. Other times are available by appointment.

      The office phone number is (828) 758-4004. You may drop us an email at caldheritmus@aol.com
