Donations and gifts are the main source of acquisition for the Wilderness Road Regional Museum. As much as we would like to preserve everything, we simply do not have the space to properly display and store all possible gifts. We ask that you consider gifting items that were made in the 1800-1900 time frame and that are appropriate to the New River Valley or Newbern areas, or that have significance to the Wilderness Road history. Your donations of family history items, household or workshop items, or any period pieces appropriate to our mission will be treasured and made part of our living history museum. Do remember that we are building our archives and donation of old store records, period letters, family bibles or other artifacts are preserved and used in research.
