WHO WE ARE

The Catawba Island Historical Society was established in 2017 as a 

federal tax exempt 501(c)(3) corporation. 


Our mission is to “Educate and inspire present and future generations by collecting, preserving and displaying artifacts of the area’s early American Indians and those who followed as contributors to Catawba Island’s rich history and development”.

WHAT WE DO

HOW TO JOIN

WHO WE ARE

  Our inaugural community service was sponsoring an educational lecture series. We continue presenting regular speakers on historic and informative topics. 


In 2018 we began operation of the museum/cultural center in the Union Chapel, a renovated non-denominational house of worship built in 1888. The structure is a Catawba icon.
