Abstract:
The Robersonville Primitive Baptist Church, built in 1910, closed its doors seventy years later. In the 1990s, Everette James, a retired physician and medical school professor, purchased and restored it. The former place of worship now houses St. James Place Museum. Visitors can view a collection of Southern folk art, 400 pieces of North Carolina pottery, quilts from every county, and a sizeable collection of African American quilts.
