Take a trip in time without leaving your backyard!

You are able to experience a little history today when you visit Haywood Hall. The invitation comes not from John and Eliza Haywood specifically, but from the descendants of this gracious family, through Mary Haywood Fowle Stearns’ special gift, The Colonial Dames still offer open doors at Haywood Hall to serve the people of North Carolina and provide a sense of life during the last 200 years. You will want to respond to that invitation from John and Eliza and step into another time and place –- at Haywood Hall. 

You can take a virtual tour on this website 
in order to whet your appetite and learn about 
the past, and you may visit the Hall in person. 

Contact the phone number listed regarding 
times to visit 
(Phone: (919) 832-8357
or (919) 832-4158) 
or write to the 
home address

Raleigh, NC 27601).
