Chatham County Historical Association is presenting two free history programs in November, 2025. Please read on to learn about each program.
Other Revolutionaries: Live on the Home Front During the American Revolution
Sunday, November 2, 2025
2 to 3:30 p.m.
Pittsboro Historic Courthouse
9 Hillsboro Street, Pittsboro, NC
Free
As we approach the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, many folks think first about the battles that took place during that war. But most people living through the Revolution were not fighters. Their focus was on day-to-day survival, complicated by shortages of food, salt, currency, and the knowledge that the war could show up any day on their doorstep.
Jim Morgan is a creator of the website AmRevNC, a website devoted to the history of the battles of the American Revolution that happened here, in North Carolina. He is a writer and journalist with a deep knowledge of the American Revolution and will explain what life was like in Chatham County for these “other revolutionaries” on the home front during the seven long years of war.
Siler City History Club
Thursday, November 6, 2025
10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Siler City Center for Active Living

The Chatham County Historical Association wants to better understand what life was like in the 18th and 19th centuries in one of Chatham County’s most important cities. Do you have any old photos of Chatham Street?
Any stories about buying “Mother’s Bread” at the old Siler City Bakery? Do you have any memories of watching a movie at the Gem Movie Theater?
Or visiting the Edwards Jewelry Store?
If you remember any old Siler City establishments, or have any memories of Siler City past, Chatham County Historical Association would love to talk! Come to this informal meeting of the Siler City History Club and let’s share stories. Light refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome.
