Variety
is the emphasis of the museum with something for everyone from sports
fans to doll lovers. The Enos Slaughter display honoring the Roxboro
native and Hall of Famer features a replica of a statue depicting his
winning slide in the 1946 World Series while the Victorian Wedding Room
showcases a wedding party of dolls in full wedding garb.
Other exhibits focus on Black History,
Native Americans, the Titanic, and the Military, with uniforms from all
branches of the service in all the wars from the American Revolution to
Vietnam. Displays are updated often and special commemorative events
including historical re-enactments are held throughout the year.
