Learn all about Greater High Point’s history at the High Point Museum. Several exhibitions featuring the city’s furniture heritage, the piano and fifth-grade black history report of jazz musician John Coltrane, and a collection of 30 exquisite miniature rooms are sure to leave you with a lasting impression. Right next door to the museum, you will find the Historical Park that features the historic John Haley House, Little Red Schoolhouse, Hoggatt House, and a working blacksmith shop. On Saturdays, these buildings are open for visits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities led by staff in period clothing. The Museum is a Certified Autism Center and offers sensory-friendly programs throughout the year. If you’re looking for local souvenirs, the Museum Store has you covered! Stop in to pick up High Point postcards, locally-made items, NC pottery, and more. Explore High Point beyond the Museum by downloading the High Point Museum app, which features driving, biking, and walking tours across the city.
