For over 80 years, the Historical Association of Catawba County has preserved the objects, stories, and places that matter most to Catawbans.

As an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Association is funded primarily by individual donors. National foundations, periodic grant awards, and local municipalities also contribute to the daily financial operations of the Association.
