Help us preserve the 1785 House and grounds for all to enjoy!

Generous supporters have made it possible for us to welcome twice as many people in 2026. We have hosted children, families, garden clubs, visitors from as far away as England, Colorado- and much closer to home. Visitors have enjoyed firefly walks, bird walks, historic house tours, and more.

Additionally, gifts have enabled us to protect and improve the house. We’ve replaced the roof and the inefficient heating and cooling and electrical systems, reconstructed the front steps, back steps and the eaves, repainted the interior and exterior of the house, repaired warped leaking window frames and a damaged ceiling, and restored a number of pieces of antique furniture.

With the house and grounds in better shape, we’ve been excited to be able to increase our efforts to dig into the past with archeological and other research into the lives of the people who lived and worked at the site in the past.  

Your contributions make all this possible! Donations can be made securely online by clicking here, or mailed to Friends of Moorefields, 2201 Moorefields Road, Hillsborough, NC 27278.
