On Saturday, June 14th, 2025, in commemoration and honor of Juneteenth, the North Carolina African American Heritage Commission and the North Carolina State Capitol invite visitors to downtown Raleigh for walking tours of the Capitol grounds and Freedom Park. Tours will take place at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
This new guided walking tour will connect the history of the Capitol to individuals highlighted in Freedom Park. Tour topics include the enslaved men whose skill and labor constructed the Capitol, the stories of the Civil Rights movement in downtown Raleigh, and the African Americans who fought for freedom across our state’s history.
The tours will meet on the east grounds of the Capitol, are entirely outdoors, and last 45 minutes to 1 hour. Participants are urged to wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring water. The tours are free, but participants must register in advance.
