The Museum of Durham History is located in the historic Five Points downtown area and is a unique venue ideal for small to medium-sized special events.

The Museum offers multiple wonderful interactive exhibits for guests to explore during an event. Equipped with one public restroom (handicapped-accessible) and a small prep kitchen (full size refrigerator, microwave, and sink), the interior space is bright with tall windows on three sides.

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner meetings up to 20, receptions up to 60, craft displays, and book or poetry readings are perfect for this space. A large, built-in front desk counter is ideal for check-in, name badges, and food/beverage display.

By renting the museum, you are securing a unique venue for your event and supporting Durham’s local history museum at the same time.
