Travel back in time to 19th-century High Point with a visit to Mendenhall Homeplace. This historic gem represents the legacy of a community of Quaker tradespeople and farmers who actively opposed slavery, promoted education, and labored to create a life of peace and simplicity. Even more special? You’ll get to see and learn more about one of our nation’s most significant underground railroad artifacts, the false-bottom wagon!

Year 2: Tannery Books had grown a bit, with a children's section in the front, a wall of sci-fi across the back, and vintage books in the glass case. With a brick-and-mortar shop, I decorated a window display every month. I also had a booth at Mendenhall Homeplace's annual Village Fair.
Black history is American history. This month is more than just remembrance; but a tribute to the history and the reminder of the work that lies in the months and years ahead. Celebrate with us by reading our blog on High Point's Black history.

A new informational sign was recently installed at Jamestown Friends Meeting House and Cemetery in High Point City Lake Park offers park visitors a glimpse of the building. The Mendenhall family built this Quaker place of worship around 1818. Located on its original site, the meetinghouse stood on the northern boundary of historic Jamestown.

Richard Mendenhall's store sits across from Mendenhall Homeplace within High Point City Lake Park. Richard Mendenhall helped organize the Manumission Society of North Carolina. Quakers, Baptists, Methodists and other religious groups comprised the Society and operated schools until the 1830s when new laws prohibited anyone from teaching an enslaved person to read or write. The Freedmen’s Bureau began establishing schools in the first few years following the Civil War. In 1866, Richard Mendenhall’s daughter, Judith Jemima Mendenhall, organized one in Jamestown. These photos were taken in the 1930s probably when the pool and other facilities were being constructed.

We recently had a tour here and found the history of the Mendenhalls and how they lived very interesting. The house, the barn, the carriages and the surrounding area was well presented by Shawn Rogers. Thanks you so much.
A bit of a history buff? Be sure to check out Mendenhall Homeplace during your stay with us!
