Wilson and Area History
Located in the Museum library are albums reflecting aspects of Wilson and the area’s history. Most of this information has come from Wilson’s newspapers beginning with 1915 and continuing through the present. This is an on-going project focusing on adding more prior years’ information and keeping up with current news. These albums and other information are available as follows:

In addition to the albums and related information the Museum has copies of the following school annual yearbooks:
- Wilson school annuals are available for: 1923, 1926, 1928 (Senior Number), 1928 (Athletic Number), 1938, and 1946-2017. Annuals do not appear to have been produced for the other years, or they were not saved.
- Rexroat school annuals are available for: 1949-50, 1953-54 and 1956-60. We would be happy to add other Rexroat annuals to our collection.
