Old Hillsborough Road Market

James and Nancy Bennett lived along the Hillsborough Road, a major throughway between the county seat of Hillsborough and the state capital of Raleigh. They made money by selling goods & services to passers-by on the roadway.

On May 16, Bennett Place State Historic Site brings back that entrepreneurial, small-business spirit with the Old Hillsborough Road Market. Shop local craft, retail, and food vendors while exploring our historic site! The program also features historic trades demonstrations and free ranger-talks in the Bennett home.



Vendors wanted! Please contact us for more information about registration requirements.
