Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum & State Historical Site
Details
Founded in 1902 by Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Palmer Memorial Institute transformed the lives of more than 1,000 African American students. Today, restored campus buildings provide the setting for a unique educational experience. The museum links Dr. Brown and Palmer Memorial Institute to the larger themes of African American women, education, and social history, emphasizing the contributions made by African American citizens to education in North Carolina.
Join us for a tour of the museum followed by lunch at Occasions, a Black owned soul food buffet and catering business in downtown Burlington.
Please RSVP as soon as possible so car pools can be arranged. The distance from Raleigh to Burlington is approximately 60 miles, so we should leave at about 8:30 am to be on time for our 10:00 a.m. tour.
The cost is $2 per person for individuals between 18 and 64 years old. Donations are welcome.
