News

Josiah Turner, Sr. Portrait Restored

The Museum recently had a c. 1817 portrait of Orange County Sheriff Josiah Turner, Sr. restored. Many thanks to C.R. Allen Restorations for doing such a wonderful job.

 

Orange County Historical Museum Receives Grants

The Museum was recently awarded two separate grants for the restoration of two objects in the collection. The Marion Stedman Covington Foundation awarded a grant for the restoration of the Sallie Harris portrait. The North Carolina Preservation Consortium granted the Museum's request for funding to conserve a small tintype that we believe is of Maude Faucette.

The Museum is very excited about these upcoming projects and they would not be possible without the generous support of these two groups.
