The Rebecca Nurse Homestead

Join us for our annual summer fundraiser <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/746332830069201?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22page%22%7D]%7D" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">"Gala Day"!</a> The very first "Gala Day &amp; Garden Party Bazaar" was held at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead in 1912 right after becoming a Museum, and they continued to be held annually through the 1920's! It was a way to welcome the community to explore the newly restored historic house, learn about local history, and just enjoy the beautiful grounds on a summer day. For this year's theme we are traveling back to the 1920s. Come experience our version of Gala Day. (This year also marks the 10th year since our first Gala Day reenactment!)

Although admission is listed as FREE for this event, this is our annual summer fundraiser and we encourage visitors to make donations towards the preservation of the Nurse Homestead. You can donate on here with your ticket reservation or on-site the day of the event. As an independent 501c(3) non-profit we rely almost entirely on donations and admission fees to preserve this unique historic site. <a href="https://www.rebeccanurse.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE </a>to learn more about us.
