On Thursday, November 30th the Polk County Historical Museum is going to be open for citizens young and old to see what our local museum has to offer. Featured during the night will be characters from our past walking around the facility in period clothing. The event will be held from 5pm to 7pm at the museum on 60 Walker Street. 

"We are looking forward to sponsoring our Night At The Museum event again this year," said Pat McCool, President of the Historical Association. "In the past we heard from people that they often can not attend our daytime programs because they work. So we are offering this nighttime activity."

Plans are still being formalized but reenactors will be on hand including the volunteers of the Overmountain Men for the nighttime museum opening. There is no cost to attend this event and the public is encouraged to attend. The museum is located at 60 Walker Street in downtown Columbus.
