Our Vision
To connect citizens and visitors to Lumberton's past, with historical and educational exhibits, showing how Lumberton came to be.
The Museum's History
In 2019, a group of Lumberton citizens began exploring the concept of a museum to preserve the history of our community. The committee gathered ideas and started searching for a place for the museum.
In 2023, the City of Lumberton began developing a new Multi-Purpose Center to be built next to City Hall.
In April 2025, the Lumberton Historical Museum signed a lease with the City of Lumberton to rent space in the new building.
