NC Society of Historians Honors Caldwell America 250 Committee

At their Annual Awards Ceremony, the North Carolina Society of Historians (NCSH) awarded the Caldwell County America 250 Committee the Multimedia Award of Excellence for “Our Story: The History of Caldwell County.”  

“We are thrilled to have the NC Society of Historians recognize the time, dedication, and creativity that went into developing ‘Our Story,’” said Paige Counts, Caldwell County America 250 Chair. “Our committee spent many hours researching timelines and poring over materials to find the photos that represented every day here in Caldwell County and making sure every corner of our county was mentioned.”  

Located in the Alden Starnes County Office Plaza, the permanent display showcases the people and events that shaped our county. Using photos, videos, and timelines, the display highlights the county’s history from the days of the Cherokee and Catawba tribes inhabiting the area through today. It is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm.  

Each year, the NCSH honors historians, writers, educators, genealogists, institutions, and community members whose work documents, interprets, and celebrates North Carolina’s rich and diverse past. In addition to honoring the Caldwell County America 250 Committee for its display, the NCSH recognized the following individuals with ties to Caldwell County:  

• Earl Victor Wilson received the Historical Fiction Award for “Murder on the Mountain: A Land Family Tragedy.”  
• Brent Tomberlin received the Journalism Award for “Remembering the Common Men of Liberty” from America 250: Celebrating America’s Storied History and North Carolina’s Legacy.
