N.C. Museum of History Presents In Search of a New Deal: Images of North Carolina, 1935-1941

On Oct. 29, 2009, the 80th anniversary of the 1929 stock market crash, the N.C. Museum of History will open an exhibit of photographs documenting daily life in rural North Carolina during the Great Depression. In Search of a New Deal: Images of North Carolina, 1935-1941, will feature 50 Farm Security Administration photographs that provide a compelling and diverse portrait of a state coping with tough economic times. The exhibit, originally produced by Historic Oak View County Park in Raleigh, will be supplemented with Depression-era artifacts from the N.C. Museum of History collection. In Search of a New Deal will run through Jan. 31, 2011, in Raleigh, and admission is free.
