The Old Church Gallery is a cultural arts museum preserving the creative heritage of Floyd County with exhibits, programs, and collections of both physical objects and digitally-archived images, oral histories, and recordings. We have been collecting and sharing our lore, prehistoric to contemporary, since 1978.

To get a sense of the treasures we hold, please visit us at 110 Wilson Street in Floyd. We are open Fridays from 1:00 to 4:00 and Saturdays 11:00 to 2:00 through December 19, 2026. In between visits, tour virtually through our website:

Shaping & Turning Exhibits for 2026 include an appreciation to six of the founding members of the 16 Hands artists' group. On display are early and recent works by potters Ellen Shankin, Richard Hensley, Donna Polseno, Sylvie Granatelli, Susan Icove, and woodworker Brad Warstler. Additional 16 Hands members David Crane and Davin Butterfield are also represented.

By the Grandchildren spotlights artifacts from our permanent collections of baskets, tools, toys, folk art, quilts, musical instruments, furniture, and coverlets that were created by Floyd Countians whose ancestors came here during the Revolutionary era.

Visitors may also listen to clips from interviews collected as early as 1999, tunes from old-time string bands, or songs written in 2024 for our Buffalo Mountain exhibit.

We are an entirely volunteer organization and every dollar donated goes to the fund for our planned addition with display and storage space.
