Description

Historic Rock Hill owns and operates the historic White Home as a house museum as well as a museum for the city of Rock Hill, SC.

Mission

Historic Rock Hill seeks to preserve and promote the collective history of Rock Hill, South Carolina by collaborating with our community to provide stewardship of historical resources along with educational programming in celebration of our shared past.

History

The White Home started out as a one room cabin that sat within the Catawba Land Lease. George and Ann White subleased the land and lived in the cabin as they built a larger house. Eventually, the larger family home was connected to the cabin and following her husband's death, Ann was forced to turn the home into a boarding house to make ends meet. Following the Civil War and after she inherited funds from a brother, she built a Carpenter's Gothic addition to the rear. The family lived in the house until 2005 when Historic Rock Hill purchased the home and restored it.
