The Chapel Hill Town Treasures exhibit honors outstanding senior citizens who have made and/or documented Chapel Hill-Carrboro history. Their contributions and examples link the past with the present, remind us how far we have come, and honor Chapel Hill, a North Carolinian town rich with history.

Catharine Carter has photographed 12 remarkable residents for this charter class including Bill and Ida Friday, Rev. Robert Seymour, Georgia Kyser, among others; these photographs will be displayed at the Chapel Hill Museum through December. Each photograph captures one of the Town Treasures in a documentary-style setting in the home or other location that reflects his/her contributions to our community. Accompanying each photograph will be the individual’s remarks on Chapel Hill’s past and future.

Town Treasures is an annual program of the Chapel Hill Historical Society and Chapel Hill Museum.
