The Tobacco Farm Life Museum, part of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, is hosting the State Archives of North Carolina’s One Day Wonder exhibit “To Preserve the Blessings of Liberty: State Constitutions of North Carolina”

This one day only exhibit will feature copies of the 1776 State Constitution and Declaration of Rights, the 1868 State Constitution, and a letter from John Adams known as “Thoughts on Government.” The exhibit will examine the state’s founding documents along with key amendments that reshaped political participation throughout the state’s history.

This one-day exhibit is coinciding with the traveling exhibit “When Are We Us?” that is currently on display at the museum through Saturday, March 14.  Both exhibits are part of America 250 NC.

Monthly Meeting

SDJC will have a matinee showing of Black Honey - A Documentary by Char Vinar of Clayton and President of the Neuse River Writers. “Black Honey” is a true-life drama that tells the author’s story of losing her only daughter to addiction, having cancer, getting divorced and losing both parents within eight months of each other, all in four years, and how she survived, rebuilt her life all on her own and rose above it all to find a whole new purpose. The film explores themes of addiction, grief, depression, betrayal, and survival, as well as triumph and thriving despite what life has thrown her way, and promises to offer audiences a unique perspective on rising above life’s tragedies and reclaiming the pieces of yourself lost along the way. 

Bring your own lunch and gather for social time at 12 noon and the meeting begins at 1:00 pm JCDP Smithfield Office 1302 W. Market Street.
