The City of Raleigh (COR) Museum (Episode 3)

The City of Raleigh Museum is one of this city’s gems. To learn more about the museum’s history and current exhibits, Leeya interviewed Ernest Dollar, the museum director. You can visit the City of Raleigh Museum at 220 Fayetteville Street, Tuesday through Saturday from 9 to 4PM and Sunday from 1 to 4PM. Entry is free. Visit cormuseum.org for more information.

For an impactful outing and a way to enjoy Raleigh, visit the COR Museum’s Dorothea Dix exhibit and then visit the Dorothea Dix Park to reflect on its topics. The park has interpretive history markers and seasonal events. Mr. Dollar says, “You would never think going to a former asylum would be fun, but it gives you a lot to think about.” Visit dorotheadixpark.org to learn more.
