Description

Fans of the PBS series “Antiques Roadshow” won’t want to miss the opportunity to find out if Nana’s old butter churn or the bizarre clock left by an eccentric great uncle are simply family heirlooms or valuable historic artifacts. Six antiques appraisers from internationally renowned Leland Little Auctions will be at the City of Raleigh Museum from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, 2022, to offer their expertise. Participants are invited to bring up to three items* into the museum for appraisal. Due to the nature of the event, very large pieces such as armoires or other large furniture or objects de art are discouraged. Participants will enjoy a one-on-one session with the experts, and at long last learn exactly what they have and how much it is worth.

That all changed in 1993 when the COR Museum (formerly Raleigh City Museum) debuted its first exhibit. The COR Museum grew out of the dream of local historian Beth Crabtree, and after Beth’s death, the vision and perseverance of Mary Cates, and countless dedicated volunteers. The museum operated as a nonprofit until July 2012, when the City of Raleigh assumed operational control. While the City remains in charge of the museum, it is also supported by the nonprofit Friends of the COR Museum.
