Located in the historic district of Goldsboro, the Wayne County
Museum strives to educate and entertain people of all ages by offering
varied and diverse exhibits. The aim of the museum is to collect,
preserve, study, and exhibit objects illustrating the history, science
and cultural heritage of Wayne County and Central Eastern North
Carolina.
The Wayne County Museum was founded in 1986 when the Goldsboro Woman’s
Club graciously donated its classical Jeffersonian style building
to the Wayne County Historical Association. The building constructed
in 1927, and the home of the U.S.O. in the 1940’s, is filled with
the rich history of Wayne County. The museum officially opened in
1988 and sponsors several special exhibits each year.
We are proud to be a part of the North Carolina Civil War Trail.
A diorama of the Battle of Goldsborough Bridge is one of the highlights
of our Civil War exhibit.
The Wayne County Museum is free and open
to the public.
