The town of Coats, North Carolina, was chartered in 1905. The museum is located in the beautiful Coats Heritage Square, and it invites visitors to learn more about the town and surrounding area. This website extends an invitation for you to enjoy a walk through our community's history.

The mission of the Coats Museum is to gather, preserve, and display the material culture and history of the Coats community for the educational benefit of locals and visitors; promote the understanding of and appreciation for the past through interpretive exhibits, data banks, genealogies and a two volume publication to show a chronological history of the Coats area community. The museum will also keep an ongoing record of significant events that are relevant to the history of the families in the community.
