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.
For Black History Month in February, 2024, free weekday tours will be offered Tuesday through Friday. The tours will be for groups of 3-25 people and will take place at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Please schedule your tour on RecLink.
