History
was born here.
Joel Lane built his home in the early 1770’s in what was a very rural part of North Carolina. He is called “The Father of Raleigh” because he facilitated the location of North Carolina’s capital city on his land. His faithfully-restored plantation manor was once deemed “The Best House for 100 Miles.”
We invite you to browse through the Joel Lane Museum House website and learn about the fascinating Colonel Lane and the house where North Carolina history was made.
