Memorials and Honorariums

The Fayetteville Lincoln County Museum and Civic Center accepts donations made in memory of deceased family members and friends. We also accept donations to honor family members and friends who are still living. Many people have chosen one of these options to not only memorialize or honor an individual but also to support the museum in its effort to build a bridge to connect the past with the present and future. The preservation of our heritage and education of our youth are two of the museum's loftiest goals. Individuals who wish to make such contributions can do so by calling our Association Treasurer, Jane Pendergrass at (931)433-1282.
