A Busy Week Ahead for the Stokes County Historical Society!

We hope you'll join us as we celebrate the rich history of Stokes County!

•Open House
This Sunday | 1:30–4:00 PM
Stop by the museum, explore our exhibits, browse local history, and visit with members of the Historical Society. Whether you've visited before or it's your first time, we'd love to see you!

•Then, join us on July 4th as we celebrate America 250 with a special event honoring Colonel Jack Martin at the historic Rock House.

The morning will include the dedication of a brand-new historical marker, recognizing Colonel Martin's legacy and his contributions to our nation's story. It's a meaningful opportunity to commemorate our local Revolutionary War history as America begins celebrating its 250th anniversary. Bring a chair, bring a friend, and come help us honor the people and places that shaped Stokes County.
We look forward to seeing you at both events!

The Stokes County Historical Society proudly presents “The Spainhour Patriots” by Verna Spainhour Brewer on Sunday, April 19th at 2:00pm at King Central Park. The program will be in the upper shelter near the cabin with an open house/tour of the Spainhour Cabin following the presentation. This is the third event in the America 250 series for SCHS this year. Verna is a direct descendant of Michael Spainhour who served in the Revolutionary War Militia from 1776-1781. Verna was honored in October 2025 for her exceptional work in the field of historical preservation and community service by the Wachovia Historical Society by receiving the prestigious Archie K. Davis Award. Verna’s dedication to the 1774 pioneer cabin of Johann (John) Jacob Spaenhauer and to the Muttenz Descendants, Inc (MDI) has provided invaluable educational and historical resources to this area. Verna has enthusiastically shared her passion of her family’s heritage through educational tours organized by SCHS for many years. Please join SCHS for this free event!
