The museum dates back to 1939 by local members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The local history organization Historic Cabarrus merged with the museum in 2007 and became Historic Cabarrus Association. The newly-created organization is working to record oral histories of community members and veterans and has also opened the adjacent Cabarrus County Veterans Museum.
