Membership

The past is the foundation on which the future is built.  Your membership today builds a better tomorrow.

The dream to re-build Tryon Palace began with a small group of women in the late 1930’s. Over the course of nearly three decades this movement gained strength and support. In 1959, the reconstructed Tryon Palace opened to the public, a testament to history, community and rebirth.

The dream to preserve yesterday’s history for tomorrow continues today with the funding from memberships. At Tryon Palace, our nation’s history comes to life daily, an experience that would not be possible without our members.
