The Collections Department cares for the
over
30,000 objects, photographs, and archive material
entrusted to the High Point Museum. This material helps
the Museum to interpret the history of the greater High
Point region.
Most of the Museums artifacts have been donated by our
community members, and on certain rare occasions the
Museum has purchased objects for its collection.
