The Three Rivers Historical Society was created to collect and preserve information about the history, the land, and the people who settled along the Black, Lynches, and Pee Dee Rivers. In addition to collecting the materials, efforts to make these available to interested family members would be of prime import.

Today, there is an abundance of information available at the Society's headquarters in the home of Mrs. Nell G. Morris. Most of this material is also available in the Three Rivers Historical Society Room in the Hemingway Library. [Nearly 450 files portraying the families who settled in this area beginning in the 1700.] Check to see if yours is there! We urge you to come by either location, see what is available about your direct lineage and related families. Collect, trace, and preserve your heritage for you and your children. Let them know "from whence you came".

Within the Three Rivers area, there are nineteen [19] historical markers that have been erected by the Society. There are a number of others just out of our primary area of interest, that have been erected by other organizations. These will enlarge your knowledge of the area and to show your children real life Pee Dee history.

Historians have said, "If you don't know where you have been, how can you know where you are going?" Find your family; trace the names down through the generations, and know who you are. Call 558 2355, if you have questions or come by Mrs. Morris' or the library.
