This winter, the Joel Lane Museum House has undertaken a major restoration of the exterior paint on all three of our historical buildings. What began as a simple re-painting was complicated by the discovery of damage beneath the paint, which led to a modern study of the paint’s history… and finally to a radically different look for the Lane House. Join JLMH Director Lanie Hubbard for a lively exploration that spans the beginnings of Raleigh’s history, the evolution of preservation science, and the newest discoveries about Raleigh’s oldest house. A little bit of old-school archaeological digging, a little bit of newfangled CSI-style forensic analysis, and a little bit of historical interpretation add up to a brand new (and very old!) color palate.

Event Time: Sunday, February 2, 2020, 2:00pm
