About the Historic Village
Preserving our history. Sharing our story.
​​
​
The Historic Village at the Kernersville Museum was established to explore what life looked like in our town more than 100 years ago and create hands-on educational experiences for all visitors.
​
Together with the Town of Kernersville, Kernersville Parks and Recreation and the Kernersville Historic Preservation Society, the Kernersville Museum has curated a historical exhibit unlike anything Kernersville has seen before. The Historic Village at the Kernersville Museum currently houses a flue-cured tobacco barn, 19th century weaning cabin, and stable.
​
The meticulous and time-accurate restoration of these buildings began with the construction of our tobacco barn in 2018 and concluded in the summer of 2019 with the completion of the *cabin and stable.
