Edenton Cotton Mills letterhead

The Edenton Cotton Mill Museum has its permanent exhibit in the old Cotton Mill Office building on Elliot Street — just across from the Mill.

When We’re Open

We are open every Saturday from 11–2 (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s weekends).

Traveling Exhibits

Along with this permanent exhibit, the Museum Board offers traveling exhibits with accompanying presentations to local libraries and civic organizations, such as the exhibit and presentation at the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library, Edenton, in February and March of 2010.

On display at the library in its main entranceway exhibit case were many of the Museum’s artifacts. On the evening of February 18, Museum Board Member Beth Taylor led an evening presentation that highlighted the important moments in the development of the Mill and its Village. Joining Beth Taylor in the presentation were former Museum Board Vice-President and Treasurer Joyce Lassiter, historian Joy Caron, and several former residents of the Mill Village.
