The North Carolina History Room
Charles H. Stone Memorial Library
The North Carolina History Room in the Charles
H. Stone Memorial Library was graciously donated by Dr. Paul
Apperson Reid, President Emeritus of Western Carolina University, in
memory of his mother, Maggie Apperson Reid, for the collection, study,
and preservation of materials relating to North Carolina and
particularly Surry County. This well appointed room boasts a large
collection of historical information about Surry County and surrounding
areas, as well as a significant amount of genealogical data, especially
of Surry County families. Patrons regularly contribute materials from
their own historical research. Most of the books and materials from
this collection are cataloged as reference and may not leave the
library premises. However, patrons may use these resources in-house and
are allowed to photocopy pertinent family information.
