Mill Prong Preservation, Inc.
Mill Prong House
Built in the late 18th century by John Gilchrist (1740 - 1802), an important political and social leader in this area and in the state, Mill Prong House is one of the few remaining houses known to have been built by an immigrant Highland Scot. This two-story Federal structure, remodeled in the 1830's in the Greek Revival style, retains much of its original construction. The Mill Prong House and cemetery remain unique survivors of the Highland Scot settlement in the Cape Fear area. The house was restored in 1993 and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Raeford-Hoke Museum, Inc.
The Raeford-Hoke Museum seeks to preserve some of the history, culture, and artifacts of the local area for future generations. The museum began its preservation project in 2002 with the purchase of the McLaughlin- McFadyen house.. The colonial-style home was built in 1905 by Mr. J. W. McLaughlin, then a State Senator for Cumberland County and later known as the "Father of Hoke County" after its establishment in 1911. In addition to the many artifacts donated by local families, the museum holds photographs and genealogies of Raeford and Hoke County. Aspects of the history of the region, ranging from local government, business, and farming to medical practice and military service are displayed in various rooms of the house, and a one-room schoolhouse, country store, and farm shop are adjacent to the building.
