Wake Forest University’s Lifelong Learning program will host a history class, Early North Carolina: Stories of Turmoil and Aspiration, at the Wake Forest Historical Museum on Saturday, March 21.
North Carolina’s development was never straightforward or easy. From early confusion over boundaries and property lines, to the influx of a wide variety of racial and ethnic cultures, to war, and to the struggle for settlement and civic stability, guest lecturers Jake Ruddiman and Mary Tribble will examine the fascinating, complex, and often troubling story of North Carolina’s history. We will examine primary documents: letters of soldiers, detailed reports of the Moravians, and letters and diaries of the Wait and Merriam families in contemplating a college in a slave-holding state. With ample time for questions, we will have a full and absorbing day!
Early North Carolina: Stories of Turmoil and Aspiration is the first lifelong learning course to be offered at the Wake Forest Historical Museum, so we hope you take advantage of this special opportunity. Course registration costs $125. Seating is limited so please register early. Registration details and a complete course description can be found at https://go.wfu.edu/kf8.
