Join us as we bring scholars and educators to our site for a day of learning as we uncover some old and new “hidden history” of the Underground Railroad and the escape to freedom for enslaved individuals.

The time to choose has arrived – will you swear your Loyalty to the King, or enlist with others seeking Liberty? Step into Claire Fraser’s literal literary footsteps as you tour Tryon Palace and along the way encounter historic interpreters who will reveal the facts-versus-fiction of Revolutionary events.

Walk in the literary footsteps of Colonel James Fraser, his wife Claire, and their family as they journey through the events leading to Revolution. Are we to stand for the King, or is it time to risk everything in the pursuit of Liberty?

“Life on the Lesser Stairs” will take you on a tour of the Palace, Stables, and Kitchen Office to shine a light on the individuals who also called the Palace home but whose lives were not as glamorous.

We observe Memorial Day to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.  On Memorial Day, Tryon Palace offers FREE admission to all Retired and Active Duty military members, as well as their dependent family members (spouses and children).
