The Wayne County Museum is located in beautiful downtown Goldsboro at the corner of William Street and Mulberry Street across from the main Post Office.
Located in the historic district of Goldsboro, the Wayne County Museum strives to educate and entertain people of all ages by offering varied and diverse exhibits. The aim of the museum is to collect, preserve, study, and exhibit objects illustrating the history, science and cultural heritage of Wayne County and Central Eastern North Carolina.
The Wayne County Museum was founded in 1986 when the Goldsboro Woman’s Club graciously donated its classical Jeffersonian style building to the Wayne County Historical Association. The building constructed in 1927, and the home of the U.S.O. in the 1940’s, is filled with the rich history of Wayne County. The museum officially opened in 1988 and sponsors several special exhibits each year.
We are proud to be a part of the North Carolina Civil War Trail. A diorama of the Battle of Goldsborough Bridge is one of the highlights of our Civil War exhibit.
The museum is located in the original Goldsboro Woman's Club building constructed in 1927.
