Fundraise Update

Bringing this project to life requires a tremendous amount of time, effort and money. More than $600,000 has been raised for the project so far but another $900,000 is needed to complete the building and addition. You can be part of this exciting project. Opportunities include memorials, pledges, donations and volunteer work. Call 252-792-5243.


Friends of Old Martin County Courthouse are grateful for all the support to date:


  • As of the end of 2005, the State of North Carolina has led the effort with appropriations, to date, of nearly $200,000.
  • Fundraisers including suppers and picnics, Spring Flings, Fall Happenings, auctions, numerous Courthouse Balls, annual Christmas ornament sales, and a handmade Courthouse Quilt project have brought in more than $132,000.
  • Memorial funds and pledges have added up to more than $73,000. Grants from the North Carolina Department of Resources, The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Marion Stedman Covington Foundation the Hillsdale Foundation have amounted to $28,000.

Memorials and Donations

Many individuals have lent their support through memorials, pledges and donations. From the first $5000 given by Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Barnes to the thousands given since--in donations large and small--these contributions have illustrated the caring and responsible nature of so many in our region. Their thoughtfulness honors not only the history of this corner of North Carolina; it honors them, as well. And there are so many others: the memorial windows dedicated to many of those who worked in the courthouse, the remarkable art collection donated by Dr. Everett James, the refurbished entry and side doors in memory of  Helen Katherine Taylor and her parents, and the two judges chairs donated by Harper Peel. Each of these and other contributions tells a story of its own.

Check the Chronology page for a list of highlights and consider adding a memorial, pledge or donation of your own to the list. For information, call 252-792-5243.
