If you are interested in small-town history, stop by the museum operated by the Laurel Historical Society. The Laurel Museum is a three-story, red brick building that originally provided housing for mill workers and their families.

Permanent and changing exhibits of artifacts, documents, and photographs trace the town's history from textile mill to suburb. The area next to the gift shop downstairs has been restored to show what a typical mill worker's home looked like in the 1840s.

Open Wednesdays 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Fridays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sundays 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
