While the CH Moore Homestead remains closed for tours, they are getting creative in how they connect with the public.

According to Director Joey Long, 'Porch Posts' are a great way for people to come out to the museum and hear about local history. She indicates they invite the public to set up in the front lawn with blankets or lawn chairs and practice social distancing.

For those that are unable to attend, the Homestead will try to get those posted to their social media outlets.

The Homestead will be offering its next presentation on Saturday, September 12th, at 10:00am, on the museum’s front lawn. Long will share the story of C.H. Moore’s funeral (which took place at the mansion), the Moore mausoleum, and a variety of artifacts related to Victorian Era mourning customs.  

This is an admission-free event; open to all, but donations will be accepted.
