The Mauney House stood at 139 Catawba Avenue in Old Fort, NC, for 120-plus years. Its pine floors were wavy, and its roof was prone to leak. But having survived the Flood of 1916, it was a local landmark. About 1982, the state acquired the house for the Mountain Gateway Museum’s offices. For ten years, it held my office, where history books filled the bookshelves, past exhibit panels hung on the walls, and files full of “works in progress” lay stacked on my desk.
Museum's New Location
The museum's orginal location closed for repairs due to damage from Hurricane Helene. We have moved to 78-C Catawba Ave, Old Fort, NC
