It has been a great year at the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History and Conference Center. Our 169 in 169 fundraiser officially ended on November 15th, but it has not stopped the community from continuing to support the museum. So if you missed the deadline and you still want to give, we welcome your support! Like many in the River Region, the Laney Museum was not immune to the devastation of Hurricane Helene. We did receive some damage to the museum, however it has not stopped us for continuing to serve the community as we remain open for tours and special events. On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, I would like to wish everyone a joyous Thanksgiving with family and friends and happy holidays. If you thought the Laney Museum had it going on in 2024, then be prepared to be blown away in 2025. The best is yet to come!
