The Pope House Museum, at 511 South Wilmington Street, Raleigh, is the only African-American house museum in the State of North Carolina.
It offers a glimpse into the life of one of Raleigh’s most intriguing citizens, Dr. Manassa Thomas Pope, who was the only African-American man to run for mayor of a Southern capital in the midst of the Jim Crow Era.
The house, built in 1901, features original furnishings to the family and many historical artifacts, giving insight into a remarkable man and family.
Learn how doctors like Dr. Manassa Pope practiced medicine on “The Doctor is in” History Tours. The tours take place at the museum on Saturday, November 16, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free and requires no registration.
Tours include original medical tools and medicine from the Pope House collection, The Country Doctor Museum and Shaw University Archive.
