Help preserve Smyth County’s history. Help shape what comes next.

Local History Needs Local Support

A shared past.
A future worth preserving.

Membership is for anyone who cares about Smyth County’s history and wants to help it endure.

Your dues support the museum’s work to preserve artifacts, photographs, documents, and the stories they carry.

Whether you enjoy exploring local history or want to take a more active role, there is a place for you in the Historical Society.

Bring Your Interests

There’s more than one way to belong.

Some members support the museum through their dues alone. Others choose to share their time and talents. Both make a difference.

Members interested in volunteering can ask about opportunities to welcome visitors, help with exhibits, organize archival materials, or contribute research and writing.
