      New Exhibit!  'Life in the Carolina Backcountry'

We have a beautiful new Temporary Exhibit! 

This new exhibit is an extraordinary collection of original paintings by local Union County artist,
Barbara Funderburk, of Monroe, NC. 


Ms. Funderburke's deep interest in history and her appreciation of Union County's heritage prompted her to create a series of genre paintings of Colonial life in the Carolinas Backcountry.  The results are stunning!  There are 12 completed original paintings on display, with more paintings planned for the collection that will be added to the exhibit as they are completed.

This beautiful new exhibit of paintings will be on display at the Museum through the first of the year.  The paintings are available for sale, with a portion of the proceeds being donated by Ms. Funderburk to the Museum.  A tour of this new exhibit is included with our regular Museum Admission.
