📜 Honoring the History of Wilson’s Mills We’re excited to announce the launch of a Historical Outreach Project to preserve and celebrate the rich heritage of our town—from its beginnings in 1868 to incorporation in 1996 and beyond. Through this initiative, we're reaching out to founding families and longtime residents to collect stories, photographs, and historical records that capture the spirit and journey of Wilson’s Mills. Our goal? To build a lasting archive to share on our website, social media channels, and future exhibits—and to inspire the possible formation of a Wilson’s Mills Historical Society sometime in the future. 🧡 Join us in celebrating the past to help shape our future! Have something to share or would like to set up a time for an interview?
