and
Andrew Jackson Memorial
Waxhaw, NC

Welcome to the Museum of the Waxhaws and Andrew Jackson Memorial, a regional history museum dedicated to the history of the Waxhaws region and the memory of our nation's 7th President, a native of the Waxhaws. The museum has numerous artifacts as well as a film that details the area's history. In addition we have a gift shop and a small picnic area on the grounds. Special events are scheduled throughout the year. Come explore the history of the Waxhaws!

Our collection contains historic artifacts documenting the development of the region from the time of the Waxhaw Indians, for whom the region is named, until 1900. Subjects include the first European explorers, early settlers, particularly the Scots-Irish, and the boyhood of Andrew Jackson, which was spent in the Waxhaws region. Our permanent exhibits also focus on the American Revolution, Jackson's Presidency, the Civil War, and life in the Waxhaws around 1900. A large room is used to house our temporary exhibits which focus on a particular aspect of the region's unique and interesting history.

In addition to our exhibits and other events, we also offer guided tours for schools and other community groups. Living History demonstrations are available for tour groups upon request.

Our 66-seat auditorium is also available for rental for business conferences or club events. Contact the museum for details.
