CAM (the Contemporary Art Museum) was established in 1983 in Raleigh, N.C. as the City Gallery of Contemporary Art to complement other area museums and visual art venues by presenting solely contemporary art. The name change to CAM came in 1996 as part of a plan to ensure long-term viability that included establishing a permanent home. CAM merged with the NC State University College of Design in 2006 to provide unique opportunities for the study, exhibition and interpretation of contemporary art and design. The offices of CAM are currently housed within the College of Design and CAM's programs continue, utilizing spaces throughout the Triangle community.

Joel Lane Museum House
Raleigh, North Carolina

Culture, General, History, Historic House, Library

Joel Lane built his home in the early 1770’s in what was a very rural part of North Carolina. He is called “The Father of Raleigh” because he facilitated the location of North Carolina’s capital city on his land in 1792. His faithfully-restored plantation manor was once deemed “The Best House for 100 Miles.” A visit to this important historic site will transport you back in time. The site includes Joel Lane's stately "plantation manor house," a circa 1790 middle class dwelling, and an 1840s school room or office used as the Visitors Center housing the museum shop and offices. The gardens feature a neo-colonial formal city garden and a formal herb garden.
