Coffee at the Museum

  • The History Museum of Burke County 201 West Meeting Street Morganton, NC, 28655 United States (map)

Our March Coffee at the Museum is going to be so much fun! You won’t want to miss it!

Join us on Thursday, March 28, at 10:00 AM for a hands-on, immersive experience of the 18th century presented by Robert Patton, President of the Historical Burke Foundation.

You will not only hear a presentation, you will have a chance to try on 18th century clothing, hold Revolutionary War weapons, participate in a military drill, receive a handout of historical facts and join in a lively question and answer session.

Robert Patton’s family arrived on American soil in 1748 and moved to Rowan County in 1755 which became Burke then/now McDowell County. They lived on Bob’s Creek now dedicated as Bob’s Creek State Natural Area. Four generations of Patton Educators are namesakes of the Robert L Patton High School.

Admission is free and open to the public. Make sure to mark your calendar!!
