Welcome

We are a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, grassroots, volunteer organization founded in 2007 in Norcross, Georgia. Our vision of establishing a museum to serve the greater Norcross area in southern Gwinnett County is gaining widespread recognition and community support.

Our Vision: Create a living, interactive museum in the City of Norcross to serve as a repository of oral histories, photos, documents, letters, artifacts, and memorabilia that make the history of Norcross accessible; and to host and coordinate related events associated with developmental history of Norcross and surrounding southern Gwinnett area.

Our Mission:

  • To collect, record, preserve and present the cultural heritage and natural history of Norcross, GA and surrounds.
  • To become a creditable museum with ever expanding and rotating exhibits.
  • To interpret the history through operation of the Museum and Archives, public lectures, demonstrations, programs, and Docent program.
  • To advance historical research and preservation.
  • To solicit funds from sponsors, patrons, Museum Gift Shop sales, endowment funds, and other income sources.
  • To involve seniors as contributors, volunteers, and docents.
Current Activities:
