Martin County Historical Society

Online Tour - Main Display

Everywhere in the MCHS is full of Martin County’s rich history and our lobby is no exception. Our main display is set up on the west wall and features many pictures from the impressive and gorgeous historic homes of Martin County. The south wall holds our Martin County Music display that pays homage to the local and regional musicians who entertained us and the places they played at, such as the famed Interlaken Ballroom. The east wall is home to our gift shop, the Kickin’ Chicken sign, and one of our newest displays, the Paul and Linda McCartney display. The McCartney couple came to Fairmont in 1994 to launch Linda’s line of vegetarian TV dinners. The display features some boxes from her dinners and several quality photographs from their visit to Fairmont. So even if you only make it to the main lobby on your trip to the Pioneer Museum, it will still be very fun and educational!
