The Ware Shoals Museum has relocated from 38 East Main St to 201 McLane Ave. The museum switched because the HVAC system was out at the former Police Dept. The Museum has been receiving quotes for a new HVAC system. (This has been an exhausting process getting companies to get back with us). We will be going to council soon about the HVAC system.

Two rooms have been completed in the museum at the new location. We are having the rest of the museum painted. The first two rooms are about Mr. Riegel and the Ware Shoals Manufacturing Company/Riegel Textile Corporation. The museum wants your input of items that should be in the museum. The following items (in no particular order) are on the list that I have compiled to go in the rest of the museum:

The Big Friendly
Boy Scouts
Girl Scouts
Camp Fire Girls
Secret Societies/Civic Groups
Catfish Feastival

Professionals - Bo Hopkins, Grits Gresham, Mack Magaha, Jerry Butler, Mickey Davis, Lou Brissie

Professional Baseball Players Fron the Textile League Era

Military/National Guard
Government - Marion Carnell, Jeff Duncan
The Schools
Golden Apple Award Winners
Riegel Stadium
The Band
High School Sports
Billy Medlin
Parks & Recreation Sports
The Dolls Shows /The Dog Shows
The Senior Center
Former Businesses in Town
Katherine Hall
The Police Dept
Mayors of Ware Shoals
The Ware Shoals Fire Dept

Please help us add to this list.

Thank you,
Micheal Powell
Ware Shoals History & Tourism Chairman
