| 1997 may seem like just yesterday to some, but it was actually 28 years ago. The Waynesboro Heritage Foundation was founded in 1997. The foundation offers a glimpse of local history for residents and visitors to enjoy in the Waynesboro Heritage Museum and Plumb House Museum. The displays filled with local artifacts and detailed descriptions date back as far as 1797. What happened in Waynesboro during the Civil War? Where was Basic City located? What family businesses started in this town way back when? Where was the first national bank building? You will find answers to these questions and more as you explore the expansive timeline of events. Displays describe how education and industry developed through the years and the Postcard Gallery provides images of days past on these very same streets. You will enjoy meandering through the detailed exhibits and stopping in the gift shop to pick out a treasure of your own. Volunteer opportunities are available. To learn more, stop by the museum on the corner of W. Main St. and S. Wayne Ave. or click here. The Waynesboro Heritage Museum welcomes visitors from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. |
