The
North Carolina History Room
Charles
H. Stone Memorial Library
The
North Carolina History Room in the Charles
H. Stone Memorial Library was graciously donated by Dr. Paul
Apperson Reid, President Emeritus of Western Carolina University, in
memory of his mother, Maggie Apperson Reid, for the collection, study,
and preservation of materials relating to North Carolina and
particularly Surry County. This well appointed room boasts a large
collection of historical information about Surry County and
surrounding areas, as well as a significant amount of genealogical
data, especially of Surry County families. Patrons regularly
contribute materials from their own historical research. Most of the
books and materials from this collection are cataloged as reference
and may not leave the library premises. However, patrons may use these
resources in-house and are allowed to photocopy pertinent family
information.
