Our Sincere Thanks
From the moment that a corner of the Historic Henderson County Courthouse was dedicated to the creation of a Henderson County Heritage Museum, citizens and businesses who have believed in our mission have generously supported us. They have given money, time, equipment, supplies, talent, and influence to help the Museum reach its current exciting status. Below are but some of the names of our benefactors, and we know that our indebtedness to the citizens of our county and to the contributions of appreciative visitors will continue to grow. These are but the first words of our continuing "Thank you very much."
