Little House Museum & Gallery

Little House Museum & Gallery An Historic Home Exhibit Space in Rolesville, NC. Main St in Rolesville, NC. The museum is currently open on Fridays for small tours by appointment.

On April 1, 2017, Little House Museum & Gallery opened doors to exhibit local history, art and craft in the John Lewis Terrell House, 201 N. Vaccination and masks are required. Call 919-271-0923 to schedule or for more information. The c. 1840 historic Terrell Home Place was purchased in 2012 by Little House LLC, subsequently granted a permit for special use by the Town of Rolesville for the openi

ng of a future Museum & Gallery. The site and main structure required a renovation plan (Matt Hale, Architect) to allow for public use. With its Greek Revival main house, original detached kitchen, smoke house, and c. 1860 Magnolia, this site is located just steps away from Rolesville's historic stage coach crossroads, market square, Baptist Church and Terrell family cemetery. Exploring the history of Wake County's second-oldest town (incorporated in 1837), Little House Museum & Gallery presents local artifacts that trace earliest indigenous inhabitants through town life of the early 20th century. Exhibits introduce visitors to our town founder William Roles and his eventual bankruptcy, early growth along a stage road from 1822-1837, the town’s early Market Square with original stores and slave trade, four generations of the Terrell family, the George Taylor Lynching of 1918, and much more. An adjacent gallery space thematically pairs antique art and craft with contemporary works by local artists. For more information, contact Terry Marcellin-Little, Director at (919) 271-0923 or [email protected]
