Museum Days are planned in conjunction with county membership committees to gain new members and to provide a membership benefit for current members. A Museum Day is an educational program from the museum, which takes the collection and staff curators to communities across the state. The program may be on topics represented in the museum collection, North Carolina history, or related subjects presented by nationally recognized speakers.

A social usually accompanies the program (coffee, luncheon, tea, wine and cheese dinner). The social hours adds to the event and gives participants a chance to talk informally with museum representatives and with each other. Some communities have had very successful social events to benefit the Museum Associates without a program. Members of the Associates in surrounding counties are often invited to attend, in addition to members in the host county.  If you would like to host a Museum Day in your area, please contact Betsy Frazier.
