Most rooms at the GHW Center are available for short term usage, with the exception of the Memorial museum room designated to educate the public about the life and legacy of the late US Congressman George Henry, who hailed from North Carolina.
In keeping with White’s legacy, all activities approved for use at the Center must be in keeping with its intended purpose: to educate and improve the lives of the citizens of Bladen and Columbus counties.
The Center is a non-profit organization and, as such, requests a financial donation for the use in order to assist with expenses associated with the maintenance and upkeep of the building and surrounding property.
At the conclusion of use, designated attendees must return the room to its former arrangement, empty all trash in the designated area, and return the key to the Superintendent’s representative who should arrive at the property on or around the close of your activity.
