The Swannanoa Valley Museum & History Center was founded in 1989 in the historic 1921 former firehouse in Black Mountain, North Carolina. This non-profit organization is the primary museum of local history in Buncombe County. The museum organizes at least one major exhibition every year in their spacious gallery on the first floor. The permanent exhibition on the second floor paints the picture of the history of the Swannanoa Valley through numerous photos and artifacts. The museum maintains an archive of original source materials such as oral histories, ledgers, and ephemera. School programs and traveling trunks follow the North Carolina’s educational standards. Every month the museum organizes hikes to historic locations in the valley as well as special events inside and outside the museum.
