Valleytown Cultural Arts and Historical Society

The Valleytown Cultural Arts and Historical Society occupies a historic 1923 building in Andrews, North Carolina that once served as the First Baptist Church of Andrews and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Founded in 1986 through a community-led fundraising effort organized by the Andrews Chamber of Commerce, the organization transformed the structure into a year-round cultural center for visual arts, historical preservation, live music, and theater. The interior retains much of its original character — original hardwood floors, rich wood trimmings, stained glass windows, gilded fixtures and moldings, and lofty ceilings of intricately patterned pressed tin. The Andrews Art Museum operates year-round within the center with rotating exhibitions, while the Community Youth Players stage five theatrical productions each season from September through May. The Cultural Arts Center is available for weddings, receptions, and private events.
