The mission of the Veterans History Museum of the Carolinas (VHMC) is to honor our nation’s veterans, to educate the public about our country’s military history and the contribution of our servicemen and women, and to preserve important and unique historic artifacts. The VHMC reflects a love of country and gratitude to those who serve it by remembering and celebrating their service.
The impact that the museum makes occurs in many ways; from sharing history with students and the public, to its programs honoring veterans via parades, holiday observances, Quilts of Valor ceremonies, and Coffee and Conversations meetings where veterans come together in fellowship once a month. 10% of the residents of Transylvania County are veterans.
