Save Your Soles For The Center

Help raise funds for Bassett Historical Center by donating your new or gently worn, used shoes.  We will accept shoes for men, women, children and babies.  Shoes may be any type from heels, tennis shoes, boots, slippers to shoes for all sports.  We are trying to reach a goal of 2500 pairs of shoes donated to the Center to raise money specifically for preservation of collections, research and  education.    You may leave your shoes at one of our drop-off sites: Bassett Train Depot, Bassett Funeral Services, Kings Grant, Martinsville-Henry County Visitor Center, and, of course, Bassett Historical Center.  If you have donated shoes to us already, thank you so much.  If you haven’t done so, please “save your soles” for the Center.  Please call 629-9191 if you have any questions.
