Located at the corner of US Highway 158 (Jefferson Street) and NC Highway 306 (Church Street,) the Northampton County Museum displays historical artifacts from the county. It offers hands-on activities for younger students and several permanent exhibits which are child-sized and range from prehistoric to current events with a strong emphasis on natural resources. Exhibits change several times each year and various collections from local people are displayed. Next door to the Museum, the Country Doctor’s Office offers a unique view of the cramped and sparse office of Dr. C. G. C. Moore.
