Preserving the Past, Enjoying the Present, Building the Future.

A Note From The President

Missiles and More Museum has been hosting visitors from all over North Carolina, the United States and abroad. The Bingo program began this week much to the delight of tourists and residents alike. Our exciting Summer Aquarium Program will begin June 26th. Plans are already in the works for our coastal arts and music festival, Autumn With Topsail 2019.
Make plans to join us at some of our fun-filled activities during the coming weeks!

Many HSTI members have requested a membership renewal notice. If you have not yet renewed your membership for 2019-2020, you will receive a reminder, as requested.

All the best for a great summer season!
