A private 501c3 non-profit facility, the BCHM was organized in 1981 with the mission “to preserve the heritage of the family and early farm culture of Baldwin County through the creation of a home for historically significant buildings, artifacts and documents from community life.” Its basic foundations being, Home, Church, School and Community, as it was throughout all of early America.

Each year BCHM continues to advance its mission along with creating an educational experience for young and old. Through its programs with the Boy and Girl Scouts of America, the county 4-H Clubs, Snow-Bird clubs and promotions, senior centers, public and private schools, it has provided the story of the stalwart people who cleared the land, built the towns and made sacrifices to provide us the life we enjoy today in Baldwin County.

We hope you will take part in this worthwhile and fun event by providing your support, as a sponsor, plus help keep this important reservoir of our heritage from becoming what it was setup to preserve -a memory of the past.
