Hillsborough’s Black & Indigenous History Guided Tour

As part of our Black Literature & Arts Celebration, The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough is providing a 90 minute, guided walking tour of Hillsborough’s Black and Indigenous History led by Judge Beverly Scarlett. The tour will begin at the library and follow a route through downtown. Registration is required. This event is free and open to the public. Funding by the Friends of the Library used to pay for this tour was donated by Alliance for Historic Hillsborough to support the preservation of historic Dickerson Chapel AME Church.
