The Bladenboro Historical Society has transformed the Bladenboro Farm Life School into a museum to preserve the past of Bladenboro for “folks to reminisce in their memories, for our children to see a little of how we lived when we were their age, and to be of service to the community.” The museum has created special rooms for artifacts dealing with art, crafts, genealogy, military, farming, and more.

The museum is located at 818 South Main Street and is open Saturdays and Sundays 2 until 4 p.m. and week days 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. To arrange a visit to the museum, please call 910-863-4707.
