Learn about the rich history of Orange County by attending one of our educational workshops and programs
Historic Hillsborough Excursion Day
Experience Hillsborough, the small town with big history, through a day of FREE activities at many the town's historical sites!
The theme for this year's Excursion day is "Preservation."
We will be offering tours of our Collections Room. Museum volunteer extraordinaire Vicky Kruckeberg will explain how the Museum conserves, catalogues, and stores artifacts.
"The Road to Brown"
Film Screening and Panel Discussion
The Road to Brown tells the story of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling as the culmination of a brilliant legal assault on segregation that launched the Civil Rights movement. It is also a moving and long overdue tribute to a visionary but little known black lawyer, Charles Hamilton Houston, "the man who killed Jim Crow."
Screening of the film will be followed by a panel discussion with presentations about the history of desegregation in Orange County and the challenges facing us today.
The audience will have an opportunity to share their experiences and insights.
