field trips and teacher education. 

For 50 years, Piedmont Arts has

Henry County. Visit our galleries for

The Historic Henry County Courthouse
houses the MHC Heritage Center and
Museum in the portion of the building
that was formerly the Henry County Circuit Court Clerk's Office. Displays in the
Collectors Gallery change often so there is always something new to see. The former Deed Room is home to a timeline of the
history of Martinsville and Henry County featuring artifacts, photographs and
articles on Native American fish weirs,
the Civil War, tobacco and local industries.
