Historic Hope Plantation
E-News Update

June 2005



Welcome to the first edition of Historic Hope Foundation's E-News Update. This monthly bulletin will let you know what's going on -- and what's coming up -- at Hope Plantation.


Exhibit Opening June 30

What Was It Worth Back Then? A new temporary exhibit, "The Weight of Wealth," answers that question by comparing the value of different goods in Bertie County in 1722, 1779, 1818, and 1860. The exhibit will be on display at the R-C Heritage Center until October.

New exhibit opening June 24
