General Info
Mendenhall Homeplace represents the legacy of a small community of Quaker tradespeople and farmers who actively opposed slavery, promoted universal education, and labored to create a life of peace and simplicity in the midst of troubled times. This authentic Quaker homeplace includes several early 19th century structures such as: the Richard Mendenhall House (circa 1811), the Madison Lindsay House (circa 1817) - one of our state's first medical schools, the James Mendenhall Bank Barn (circa 1820) - North Carolina's oldest Pennsylvania-style bank barns, and a restored workman's home that is interpreted as a an early one-room school house. Mendenhall Homeplace is also home to one of our nation's most significant Underground Railroad artifacts - the Stanley-Murrow False-Bottom Wagon, which was used to help dozens of enslaved people escape north to freedom in the years leading up the Civil War.Mendenhall Homeplace represents the legacy of a small community of Quaker tradespeople and farmers who actively opposed slavery, promoted universal education, and labored to create a life of peace and simplicity in the midst of troubled times.
