There is only ONE WEEK LEFT to enjoy the MOCF traveling exhibit "Steeped in Time"! Many people have signed the guestbook and added what their favorite tea is, make sure to come by and tell us your favorite tea before it is to late!

Come on down to the Cape Fear Historical Complex and explore our temporary exhibit "Steeped in Time: Tea and Traditions". This exhibit is from the Museum of the Albemarle and is all about the centuries old history of one of the world's favorite beverages!

Across the globe, tea is consumed second only to water. Hot, cold, sweet or unsweet, this drink has helped shaped modern society and continues to grow in popularity. Visitors will learn how tea is grown and manufactured; how it is shipped; how it is prepared; what items have been used over the centuries to prepare and drink it; and about the many customs centered on this all-important drink.
This exhibit will be on display at the Cape Fear Historical Complex! Come in and take a left at the front desk to explore the history of tea!

The Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex is excited to host this upcoming temporary exhibit “When Are We US?” funded by the National Historical Publications & Records Commission.

“When Are We US?” will be an exploration of the concepts of freedom, civic responsibility, overcoming challenge, and change as we lean into the ideals of democracy. “When Are We US?” helps us consider the roots of American democracy before 1776, and how the reverberations of American Independence continue to shape us today.

Content warning: The primary sources on display reflect the perspectives of their creators and some contain antiquated and offensive terms.

This exhibit will be on display on the second floor of the Museum of the Cape Fear from June 5th - June 13th, One Week Only!
