The Textile Heritage Museum is located in the former Company Store and Office Building in the Glencoe Mill Village. The 1880 building was purchased for the museum in  2004 and is an ongoing restoration project.

The museum highlights the textile history of Alamance County, the Piedmont, and beyond.

It features history and machinery of the textile industry from the cottage industry to the present, the family labor system, life in the mill village, a large company store exhibit, and various other exhibits of interest.

There are exhibits from currently operating Piedmont mills with history and product displays.
