The Historic Henry County Courthouse in Martinsville, Virginia is getting closer to being a real showpiece in our community. Rehabilitation of the building is still in progress with the funds from Save America’s Treasurers grant, a local Harvest Foundation grant and gifts. If you are in the area, we would love to show you this historic building being brought to its former glory. Hosts will be at the courthouse on Thursdays from 1 PM until 5 PM, Fridays from 1 PM until 5 PM and Saturdays from Noon until 4 PM. Please come by and see us.

If you are not a TimeTraveler, come by during the above hours and buy the TimeTravelers Passport Guide book for $5.00. It is a passport to 115 of Virginia’s museums and historic sites. Buy the guide at any of the 115 sites, take it to as many of the sites that you can and have them stamp your book. The book will guide you to places you probably do not know and to serve as a souvenir and reminder.

Message from the President for May 2010

Steve Rucker posted on April 26, 2010 15:36

Isn’t this picture great? The community came out to show that “This Treasure Matters”.

The Martinsville-Henry County Historical Society has joined others throughout the country, who have been recipients of the Save America's Treasures grant, in showing community support for historic preservation. The Historic Henry County Courthouse has received $93,000 to contribute to the restoration of the building. Future SAT funding has been stopped. By showing that "This Treasure Matters" to our communities, it is an effort to reinstate the funds.
