Abstract:

The Joel Lane home is the oldest house in Raleigh. It was built in 1760 and has been owned by the Colonial Dames since 1927. It is now in the process of restoration for the first time in 200 years at a total cost of $98,000, one fourth of which was covered by two appropriations from the N.C. Legislature. Lane is called Raleigh's founding father because he sold 1,000 acres of land to the State for the building of North Carolina's first permanent capital in 1792. Additionally, the Lane house served as the location for the North Carolina General Assembly's meeting in 1781.

Abstract:

The only Health Museum in North Carolina was opened in Asheville in 1969 by a small organization of doctor's wives headed by Mrs. Eugene Sharpe, President of the Auxiliary to the Buncombe County Medical Society. Realizing the invaluable help that their own children received from their fathers' knowledge, libraries, and access to source materials, the Society decided to make these aids available to other children in the county.
