The Pitt County Museum

The Pitt County Historical Association was formed when Lucy Crisp called a meeting on September 18, 1927, at the Pitt County Court House in Greenville. The individuals present at this meeting elected the following officers: Lucy Cherry Crisp, president; Tabitha DeVisconti, secretary; and Frank M. Wooten, Sr., chair of the Constitution Committee. Although the  association had an auspicious beginning, it was not active during the  Great Depression and World War II.
In  the early 1950s, David Julian Whichard, an editor and publisher in Greenville, rejuvenated the organization and was elected president. The group took as its name, Pitt County Historical Society. The society has since evolved into a non-profit corporation.
