Historical Society of Topsail Island: Our History

The Historical Society of Topsail Island (HSTI) began in 1984. Our main goal is to collect and share our local past. Specifically, we focus on the history of the Greater Topsail area. First, we work to protect old buildings. Then, we share these stories with you. Join us today as we keep our past alive!

For over 40 years, the Historical Society of Topsail Island has done great work. In fact, we fixed up the Historic Assembly Building. This site is now the heart of our group. Furthermore, it is a great place for events and a museum. Consequently, we provide a hub for local culture. In addition, we offer many programs to keep our town connected.
