Abstract:

In 1999, the flood that followed Hurricane Floyd destroyed all four buildings of Rocky Mount's Children's Museum and the city's Art Centre. In choosing a new location in the downtown area, the city selected the old Imperial Tobacco Factory and the former Braswell Memorial Library. The Imperial Centre, which opened in January 2006, is home to the Children's Museum, the Arts Center, and a planetarium that will open in March 2006.
