Join the Joel Lane Museum House for its fall fundraiser featuring an afternoon of local food and beer, the Counterclockwise String Band, and activities for the entire family.

We will be shutting St. Mary’s Street down in front of the house for food, music, and games, and the historic site will feature colonial period activities, hands-on-history, and house tours.

All proceeds benefit the educational programming at the JLMH and the preservation of the historic buildings.

The Joel Lane Museum House, considered the “birthplace of Raleigh,” is part of a historic site managed by a non-profit 501(c )(3) corporation, the Joel Lane Museum House, Inc., which receives no governmental financial support. The site consists of three historic buildings and colonial revival gardens with period-appropriate herbs, fruit trees, and other plants.
