Join the Capitol, 1 E Edenton Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, November 8, 2025, as historians read children’s books about the state’s Revolutionary history.
Staff from the North Carolina Historical Research and Publications Office will read:
- “Within Our Power: The Story of the Edenton Ladies’ Tea Party”
- “Blue’s March: An Overmountain Men Tale.”
Both books will be available for purchase.
Readings will take place in the Capitol at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1:30 p.m. This event is free and registration is not required.
Story Time is presented in partnership with Y Guides of the Triangle. Local Y Guides and their families are encouraged to attend – the first 50 Y Guides here will get a free Capitol patch. After the first 50, patches will be sold to participants for $1 each.
“Within Our Power” tells the story of 51 women in Edenton, North Carolina, in 1774. These individuals undertook a revolutionary act: they signed a resolution in protest of Britain’s colonial taxation policies and gave their oaths to boycott British goods. Later remembered as the Edenton Tea Party, this event was an early example of women’s political activism during the American Revolution.
“Blue’s March: An Overmountain Men Tale,” is inspired by real historical events and figures. Travel with Joseph and his faithful hound dog, Blue, as they embark on adventure.
