Mitchelltown Preservation Society
Our Mission
The Mitchelltown Preservation Society is an historic
preservation group central to restoring the Mitchelltown
Historic District in Kinston, North Carolina.
A nonprofit organization, we are always looking for money
but we are also busy educating the community of the
importance in preserving its heritage.
Only 2 years old, our Society has established an active
Community Watch Program that has greatly reduced
overall crime in the neighborhood. We hold biannual
Clean Up Days and annual yard sales to raise funds.
We are all volunteers and work hard doing whatever is
necessary to meet our goals. And we are always looking
for new members who have similar interests as the MPS.

Mitchelltown
Mitchelltown is one of Kinston's
many historic districts downtown and
is listed in the National Register of
Historic Places. It is filled with
beautiful old homes, most
structurally sound and waiting for
someone to invest a little money and
sweat equity.
These homes have oak or heart pine
floors, some with intricate inlaid
designs, ornate fireplaces and
moldings. The local Historic District
Commission guidelines are very
lenient and do not at all apply to the
interior of these homes!
Kinston is a wonderful place for
retirees or semi-retirees who want a
mild year round climate, lower cost
of living, a friendly community, and to
be only an hour from the Carolina
beaches.
The homes in the historic districts
can be bought for little money when
compared to established historic
districts in larger cities.
