Off-site Programs
If you can’t make it to the museum why not let a Raleigh City Museum employee or volunteer come to you. We offer a number of off-site programs on a variety of local history topics. The best part is, like all of our services, RCM off-site programs are absolutely free.
Scheduling conflicts can happen so you are encouraged to schedule an offsite program as far in advance as possible. Contact Jenny Litzelman by calling 919.832.3775 in order to schedule your program.
Our speakers are qualified to speak about all manner of historical topics and are comfortable adapting their programs to focus on whatever you’d like. Please call to hear about additional courses, but here are some of the programs available:
