Lumberton Historical Museum
In 2019, a group from Lumberton started exploring the idea of a museum. They began gathering ideas and searching for a place for the museum.
In 2023, the City of Lumberton granted space in the Event Center, a new building being constructed next to City Hall. The Event Center will house the Lumberton Chamber of Commerce, Hardin County Health Department and the Lumberton Historical Museum.
