What People Are Saying About Joel Lane House Inc

In Short – When Colonel Joel Lane gave the go-ahead, dirt began flying as the city of Raleigh staked its claim on part of Lane's plantation. That was in 1792. So the City of Oaks grew, but Lane's quarters, a two-story buttercup farmhouse, stayed put. Today it is Raleigh's oldest home, and it is open for tours.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- You can tour the house throughout most of the week, but the Museum House also offers seasonal open houses for Christmas and Fourth of July as well as an annual Antiques Appraisal Fair.
