Heritage Center at Mossy Creek
At Old City HallHistoric Mossy Creek DistrictImagine a world two-hundred thirty years ago; the discussions of townspeople; the sweat on the farmer’s brow; the labor of love erecting a building for a community; the children; the families. Now imagine being able to learn about those families that came before us and how they lived in our local communities.
Within the walls of Historic Old City Hall, the Heritage Center at Mossy Creek will tell the rich, beautiful tale of the Mossy Creek settlement in 1788. Relive the wonder of our forefathers’ Appalachian living; and learn about our surrounding communities and their roots.
