The Alleghany Historical Museum will re-open Thursday April 2 at 10:00, after being closed for the winter months. The first exhibit of the year will be called Faith of Our Fathers, and will focus on community church histories.The Museum is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10:00-5:00 and is located at 7 North Main Street in Sparta, across from the Alleghany County Courthouse.
