About Military History Center of the Carolinas (MHCC)
MHCC was originally formed in the mid 1990’s under the name Military Collectors Club of the Carolinas. In 2009, the group was incorporated in South Carolina as a non-profit and was approved as a tax-exempt 501-C3 organization by the IRS. The name was changed to Military History Center of the Carolinas in July 2015 to better reflect the full scope of MHCC operations. For many years, members of MHCC have been dedicated to preserving our American Military History by collecting and restoring items to take to events throughout our nation and within our local communities. This group, which has members from South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, have conducted a sort of “traveling museum”. Last year alone they visited 67 locations. Families and individuals; young, and not so young; male and female; about 50% veterans, and many others who have never served, help make up this diverse group.
