The Museum @ Wrightsville is located in a house built in 1871, the former residence of John & Mary Redman. The house was donated in 1987 & since that time has served as the home of the organization.
The first floor of the museum contains exhibit rooms housing permanent exhibits on the history of the town, including information on the different bridges at Wrightsville, and special rotating exhibits on particular aspects of local history. The museum also hosts various events which are announced on the website.
There is metered parking along the larger streets and some free parking here and there along the smaller streets. I visited on Sunday so I just parked out front for free.
