Review & FAQ:

The Mordecai Historic Park in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina was formerly the grounds of Wake County’s largest plantation. The Mordecai House itself is the city’s oldest house located at its original site. The nineteenth-century kitchen garden has been recreated based on the information in the letters and memoir of Ellen Mordecai. Visitors can learn about the history of the home and the Mordecai family in the park’s permanent exhibit at the Visitor Center: The Mordecai Story: Faith, Family, and Community in Raleigh." There are also historic outbuildings that guests can explore, such as St. Mark’s Chapel and the Allen Kitchen.
