Artifact Donations

The Sampson County History Museum relies primarily on donations to add to its collections. We welcome donations of materials which help tell the story of the people of Sampson County. We also collect books and other materials about Sampson County for our collections.

There is ample parking in front of the main building as well as on the side of the museum. Visitors are also encouraged to park in the City Market parking lot on Lisbon Street and walk to the museum.

Hundreds of students tour the museum each year as they dive into Sampson County’s rich heritage. Please call the main office at (910) 590-0007 during business hours to schedule your tour group. 

For smaller groups, reservations are not required, however it is recommended for groups of 6 or more to make a reservation. Please call during regular business hours to schedule your tour at least 1 week in advance.

Currently, eight buildings are handicap accessible.

Please refrain from video recording.  Photography is allowed as long as artifacts are left untouched and not disrupted.
