The Museum of Durham History is excited to continue our mission of being a “museum beyond walls” and bringing exhibits directly to the public by attending different farmer’s markets over the coming months. With generous support from PNC, we kicked things off on Saturday, April 26th, with a visit to the Downtown Durham Farmer’s Market at Durham Central Park. We will be at the Downtown Durham Farmers’ Market as well as the Black Farmers’ Market at Durham Technical Community College monthly during the summer and fall seasons.

During market operating hours, we’ll be on hand with the Faces of Durham traveling exhibit, featuring several well known (and not-so-well-known) Durhamites. This is a great opportunity to learn more about some of the people who helped shape our community, and find out how to get the exhibit in your area school.
