August 9 CCHA Historical Tour: Education

Step into the past with the Chatham County Historical Association in the Downtown Pittsboro Historical Walking Tour Series! Each month explores a new theme, bringing the stories of our streets, buildings, and people to life. Walk through history with us and discover how downtown has evolved through the years.

Our August Tour held at GM Horton Middle School ~ "Education"

Join us for a special tour exploring the history of education in Chatham County. Unlike previous downtown walking tours, this program takes place in the comfort of the multipurpose room of George Moses Horton Middle School, where participants will enjoy an engaging virtual tour tracing the development of education throughout the county's past. The program will include a guided walk around the campus, highlighting the rich history and legacy of George Moses Horton School.
