About Us:
THE SURRY COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND MUSEUMS, INC.
began at an organizational meeting on 28 February 1998 when Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were approved. The Society is incorporated as a Nonprofit Corporation. Officers for 1998 were elected on 11 May 1998. As of 6 November 1998 the Society's status as a nonprofit organization had been confirmed by the IRS. Donations to the Society are now tax-deductible. The Society has more than 500 members in twenty states and continues to grow!
The Society now has a new office in Surry, VA, with a place for its library and displays. But we need volunteers.
to help in the office at Surry, and the Rogers Store museum at Carsley,
to help with publishing historical works about all segments of our history,
to involve youth in the Society's work and teach them our county's history,
to move ahead in developing Museum sites throughout the county that highlight the rich history of life in Surry County over the past nearly 350 years.
