Overview
The Bellamy Mansion Museum is one of North Carolina's finest examples of antebellum architecture, built between 1859 and 1861 for Dr. John D. Bellamy and his family, with neoclassical design and gardens. It also preserves one of the few urban slave quarters in the country, and guided tours cover both the Bellamy family and the enslaved workers who built and maintained the estate.
