    Our History

    The Concord Museum was founded in 1939 when the Concord City Aldermen requested that the Coltrane-Harris Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy create a home for artifacts of historical significance to the community. The Historic Cabarrus Association, as we know it today, was formed in 1973 by local citizens passionate about preserving and restoring the Historic 1876 Cabarrus County Courthouse. The original Board of Directors, along with the originators of the Old Courthouse Theatre, saved this wonderful historic treasure from demolition.
