Here we are. One year after the best grand opening event ever, The Mitford Museum is celebrating a year of firsts. Just a few highlights include:
-
Welcoming visitors from all 50 states to Hudson, NC. (Not to mention those from Canada, Scotland, and Australia!)
-
Hosting inaugural events–a spring tea, a summer reading program, and a fall literary weekend.
-
Supporting the next generation of readers and writers through Caldwell County Smart Start, the Education Foundation of Caldwell County, and the school system.
-
Developing a dedicated team of staff, board members, and docent volunteers who have made so much of our work possible.
-
And making exciting plans for the future like an oral history library, a youth photography competition, and children’s theater.
Of course, one of the biggest blessings of this past year has been the passionate support of Mitford fans. You’ve visited, emailed, followed us on Facebook, and donated to support the work of the museum. None of this would mean anything without YOU.
We’re excited to include YOU in our October 2022 anniversary activities.
