The History of the Shiloh Community

Explore the history of this community of free people of color, which was formed by 1830 and is located in the present-day town of Morrisville. We will learn about the history of the community, of the church, of Jesse Harris, a Revolutionary war patriot who is connected to those buried in the cemetery, and about the Town of Morrisville Greenway. The program will close with a tour of the cemetery and Greenway.

This program will be presented in partnership with the Wake County Genealogical Society and Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking.
