New Exhbit Opens at the Burwell School Historic Site During July's Last Fridays Festivities
The Burwell School Historic Site presents the opening of a new temporary exhibit, The Burwell Family; A Genealogy. The exhibit will officially open on Friday, July 30, 2010 with free docent led tours, an old-fashioned lemonade and watermelon party, seed spittin’ contests, and prizes for participants during Hillsborough’s Last Friday celebration.
The exhibit chronicles the family history of the Burwell, Bedell, Bott, Higginson, Robertson, and Spottswood families from colonial history until the early 20th century, family memorabilia, photographs, original letters, and other resources will be incorporated into this educational exhibit. Come and learn about the family that was so instrumental in women’s education in North Carolina, and perhaps, learn a little about your own genealogy!
Activities and tours will be from 6:30-8pm. The Burwell School Historic Site is located at 319 N. Churton Street, Hillsborough. All events this evening are free and suitable for the whole family.
Free parking available. For more information, please call 919-732-7451 or visit our website www.burwellschool.org .
