Brunswick County Historical Society

Meetings & Events

The 1st quarter 2026 meeting of the Brunswick County Historical Society will be held on February 9, 7:30 PM, at the Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation Building, 795 Ocean Highway West, Supply, NC.

Program speaker for the February meeting will be Mr. Brett Riggs. Mr. Riggs will talk to us about "The Good Old Days" when nothing was cool, easy, or convenient. In this entertaining, story-driven talk, Brett walks us through Brunswick County's early history as a place people avoided, fled to, passed by, or survived despite best efforts otherwise.

Brett Riggs is the librarian at West Brunswick High School and a North Carolina native with family roots in the coastal Carolinas dating back to 1685 in Carteret County. He has a long-standing interest in local and regional history, particularly the local history of coastal NC. He spends his days working with teens and young adults, doing his part to help them grow into productive-and-hopefully-happy adults. He has deep ties to education in the Shallotte community through his mother and uncle.

Regular quarterly meetings of BCHS are held the second Monday of February, May, August, and November, 7:30 PM, in the meeting room at:
