Randolph County Historical Society

Active since the 1920s, the RCHS has worked for decades to protect and present the heritage of Randolph County. They have published a number of local history books, including "Historic Beverly, a Guidebook" by Donald Rice and Phyllis Baxter, and "Randolph 200" by Donald Rice, both available from the Society.

They own and operate the Randolph County Museum in Beverly, and is a partner in the Beverly Family History Research Library. Two other RCHS projects stand behind the Museum.

The Subscription School was saved and moved from a farm near Becky's Creek in a joint project with the Randolph County Retired School Personnel, and houses an extensive collection of one-room school memorabilia. It is open by appointment or during special events, including Beverly Heritage Day .

The Jacob Stalnaker Cabin was saved and moved from its original location south of Beverly as a joint project of the RCHS and the Stalnaker Family Association. Restoration work on the cabin will be ongoing, and both donations and volunteer help are urgently needed!!
