| Facility: | The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History |
| Description: | For many years there has been a fascination with the history and tradition of this back country region at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Accounts of the beauty of the area and the unique culture of the people have been recorded in diaries, letters, and books for more than 150 years. So the development of a museum to collect, preserve, and interpret the natural, historic and artistic heritage of this region was inevitable. Your visit will be a memorable occasion. The former W.E. Merritt Hardware Company building, now home to The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History, is located at 301 N. Main Street, in historic downtown Mount Airy. Records indicate Mr. Merritt purchased the site in 1903. Construction of the building began the following year. The building in and of itself is a historic gem. An enclosed courtyard and a stair tower, with an illuminated 8-foot clock and an observatory, are recent additions that have enhanced the charm of the entire facility. |
