Joel Lane House, Colonial museum in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Joel Lane House contains collections of 18th century artifacts and period furnishings within Wake County's oldest residential structure from 1769.
The house hosted significant governmental meetings during the Revolutionary War, including sessions of the state General Assembly from May to June 1781.
The museum displays the living conditions of North Carolina's colonial period through authentic furniture, tools, and household items from the 1700s.
Visitors can join guided tours Wednesday through Friday at 10am, 11am, 12pm, and 1pm, and Saturday at 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm without admission fees.
The property's recent restoration in 2019 revealed 26 different paint layers, leading to repairs that returned the exterior to its original colonial color.
