To Do: Fun, History and Eats

Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum

Arrive early for the wedding and visit the museum! Founded in 1902 by Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Palmer Memorial Institute transformed the lives of more than 2,000 African American students. Today, the campus provides the setting where visitors can explore this unique environment where boys and girls lived and learned during the greater part of the 20th century. The museum links Dr. Brown and Palmer Memorial Institute to the larger themes of African American history, women's history, social history, and education, emphasizing the contributions African Americans made in North Carolina. Interesting note: Kim's aunts Ann and Roberta, attended Palmer!
