Welcome... The Bell County Historical Society's museum is open to the public. Admission is free and the hours are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. The Bell County Historical Society Museum is a part of history! From the early 1900's until the 1950's, many aspects of life in the county are being preserved and maintained here in our Museum. YOUR Museum! Even our building is historical. The former Carnegie Library built around 1910 by Andrew Carnegie with help from the city and residents of Middlesboro. It houses a fine collection of the way things used to be, for the education and enjoyment of all. Dedicated to preserving, collecting and interpreting county history, the BCHS maintains a small resource library and museum on North 20th Street, Middlesboro, Kentucky. |
