Raleigh the capital’s rich Heritage and Modern Attractions
Raleigh blends historic grandeur with modern institutions. The capital hosts the state library, a leading agricultural museum, and expansive parks. It features the Capitol Club and Country Club, with education at St. Mary’s, Shaw University, and Olivia Raney Library, plus the old cemetery separating white and black burials. President Andrew Johnson’s boyhood links echo through Pullen Park house.
