Since 1977, the WCHS has been committed to bringing history alive in Watauga County. Whether through our various lecture series, our serial publications (Writings on Watauga and Watauga County Times...Past), and our books (Memories of Cove Creek High School: 1922 to 1965 and The Architectural History of Watauga County, North Carolina), the Watauga County Historical Society has worked hard to conne
ct Watauga County residents, students, and visitors with our community's rich and often surprising past. Our most recent initiative is the launch of the Watauga County Digital Project, which aims to make the complex history of Watauga County more widely known and easily accessible to the public by digitally preserving the images, documents, and artifacts of Watauga County. Through partnerships with Watauga County historical institutions, businesses, and the individual residents of Watauga County, this project will allow owners to share their historical materials with the public while retaining their original materials and the associated rights to those materials.
