We have several upcoming events at the Museum that we are really excited about. Our major event coming up is our 3 day 1960's event. Students from Roanoke Rapids High School are working really hard to create an amazing experience that's sure to be a great time for all ages. There will be an exhibit, a documentary film, and a concert! All access passes go on sale March 1st, and will be $10 each. The all access pass gets you into all 3 events, but we have a limited amount of passes, so be ready to get yours! Individual tickets to events will be $5 each per event.
Our next lecture is coming up on March 23rd, at 6:30pm. Dr. Greg Taylor, professor of history at Chowan University and author of The History of the North Carolina Communist Party, will present "It’s About Time: Race, Class, Gender, and the 1960s Ethos that Facilitated Unionization in the Textile Mills of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina". This is sure to be a great and informative lead in to our 1960's weekend, so call (252) 537-2769 to reserve your spot. Admission is $4 for the general public and $3 for friends of the canal.
