Lecture on “Moving Midway Plantation” by Charles Silver will gave the background story behind the moving of the house. On Thursday, January 12 at 7 pm,a capacity crowd joined us in the Visitors Center to hear the version of the story from the owners of the plantation house whose move was documented in a major motion picture. The Visitors Center is located at 160 South Saint Mary’s Street, Raleigh, NC 27603. Admission was $15 for the general public and $10 for members of the Joel Lane Historical Society. Refreshments were served. Seating was limited, and advanced payment was required. Attendees called 919-833-3431 with MasterCard or Visa, or mailed a check to P O Box 10884, Raleigh NC 27605. It was necessary to include the names of all in your party; nametags served as tickets. Tickets were non-refundable unless we had to cancel the event.
