Johnston County Heritage Center in Smithfield, NC is one of more than 15,400 museums in the MuseumsUSA directory. Find an exciting museum to visit where you live or vacation today.
Relative small collection of artifacts as our exhibit hall is rather small (former bank lobby). Most important items are original 1709 copy of John Lawson's book A New Voyage to Carolina and a collection of bullets and other items from the Civil War Battle of Bentonville (March 1865).
Our strength are our research collections, including microfilm copies of old newspapers and county records, lots of files on family histories, and numerous files on various subjects related to local history.
Our "Roadshow" circulates throughout Johnston County, visiting senior-citizen centers and school classrooms where we talk local history and solicit stories and artifacts from citizens.

Atlanta Patron Weekend
MTA gathers board members and museum senior staff for a day of panels, presentations, Q&A, and peer-to-peer networking focused on current topics essential to museums today.
MTA Patrons will participate in a thoughtfully selected program of museum and private collection visits - only MTA Patrons will experience exclusive elements of the art world that are not accessible to the average visitor.
These private events provide ample opportunity for board members from across the Americas to network with their peers and to build long lasting relationships with like-minded MTA Patrons.
Registration is al la carte but attending every event is strongly encouraged for the most robust experience. Programming concludes with two days of exclusive private collection tours for MTA Patrons ($1500+ donors).
