We’re building an easy-to-use online space filled with videos, maps, timelines, and community voices — created by and for the people of McDowell County, North Carolina. We’re building this together!
This archive will serve as a local resource for individuals, schools, and families, helping connect generations through oral history and storytelling. This isn’t just about the past — it’s about building a stronger, more connected future. |
