Wake Wednesday - Cary Records online at Digital NC

Do you have ancestors and relatives in Cary? If you/they have been there awhile you will enjoy this new record set available online.


This attention grabbing Centennial beard and Parade schedule from the 1971 Centennial Parade featured in The Western Wake Herald in April, 1971 are just the tip of the iceberg of what you will find. Also included are deeds, land grants and other records, correspondence from  Elizabeth Reid Murray, biographies, architectural sketches of some of the memorable historic buildings around Cary, and a whole host of photos and memorabilia that you did not know you needed to see. 



Update from North Carolina Digital Heritage Center via Facebook:

"Interested in the history of Cary, NC? Research files documenting the change in the community from small farm town to major suburb of Raleigh over the 20th century are now online thanks to our partner Page-Walker Arts & History Center."

Dig into this record set. I can promise you a few hours of fascination.
