Maxwell Chambers

The house became the Rowan County museum prior to 1979. It was the home of Maxwell Chambers (1780-1855), a slave owner, planter and manufacturer in Salisbury.[3] He was also a representative from the Salisbury District in the North Carolina House of Commons in 1779, 1789, and 1790.[4]
