Under her direction, the museum has embraced innovative ways to tell local stories. Recently, the museum hosted an exhibit titled "Davidson County, Full Steam Ahead!" which explored the profound impact of the railroad on local industry, agriculture, and manufacturing. Such exhibits aren't just displays; they are immersive experiences designed to foster a deep sense of place and ownership among residents. By making history relatable and interactive, Williams-Cole plays a key role in engaging the community in heritage preservation, transforming the old courthouse into a vibrant center for cultural exchange.
