The Society encourages the residents of Murphy to preserve history of our community for future generations. We educate the public about our history through the collection and preservation of old photographs, oral history interviews, primary source documents, and exhibits of historical memorabilia. We support the preservation of historic properties in Murphy, including maintenance of our local cemeteries, and apply for historical markers around our community. We are always accepting new members, volunteers, and donations to assist with preserving and documenting our local history and maintaining our historic cemeteries.

Cemetery Preservation

The Historical Society maintains the Murphy Family Cemetery, the Decatur-Maxwell-Murphy Cemetery, and the Herring-Hogge Cemetery. Members repair and clean tombstones as well as collect research and photographs of people buried in the cemeteries.

Scout troops and local citizens help members clean, mow, and trim the grass and clip hedges on the grounds of the cemeteries. A number of scouts work on Eagle Scout Projects in the cemeteries.
