Thank you to all of our incredible volunteers for decorating with all the fresh greens and beautiful decorations.  We were so fortunate to have beautiful weather and ended up having one of our largest turnouts.  Thank you to all that attended.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Historic Hope Foundation.

We are so excited to announce that we will be having our Annual Christmas Open House event on Sunday, December 5th from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm.

Dr. Warren Milteer’s presentation entitled ” Exploring Free People of Color in North Carolina” at our recent Family History and Genealogy Fair can now be seen on the Museum of the Albemarle’s Youtube channel – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGu2wxvQw7g.   Copies of his book can be purchased from our on-line bookstore.

Thank you to all that were able to attend out 10th Annual Family History and Genealogy Fair.  We were honored to have John M. Bunch as one of our speakers.  We wanted to share this article in case you weren’t able to attend.
