May is Preservation Month and Bike Month! Hop on your bike for a ride into history. The Raleigh Historic Development Commission (RHDC), in partnership with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) and Raleigh Sister Cities, is hosting the 2nd annual Raleigh Historic Bike Ride.  This year, the 4-mile route includes stops at sites identified in our recently completed LGBTQIA+ Historic Context Study! RHDC volunteers at each site will share a brief history of the property. The stops include:

  • Nash Square (200 S. McDowell St.)
  • Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel (400 Fayetteville St.)
  • Cameron Court Apartments (905 Hillsborough St.)
  • Women’s Culture Collective Coffeehouse (119 Hawthorne Rd.)
  • Pullen Memorial Baptist Church (1805 Hillsborough St.)
  • Legends Nightclub (330 W. Hargett St.)

Register for the event!

Come Prepared:

The ride will begin and end at the northwest corner of Nash Square Park. Riders are encouraged to bring their own bikes and helmets. Free scooter rentals and Cardinal Share e-bikes will also be available. Water and restrooms are not provided before/after the ride or along the route - please plan accordingly.

While the ride route prioritizes bike-friendly streets, there are several hills along the way. QR codes to a digital route map and group bike leads and sweeps will help ensure everyone bikes safely along the route.

See the mobile history tour with information about each stop on raleighhistoric.org. Check back here before May 3 for further details.

    Add to Calendar 2025-06-09 11:30:00 2025-06-09 13:30:00 Preserving Raleigh’s Black Churches Workshop Historic churches face many challenges. These historic spaces are havens of resilience, activism, and cultural identity. They are also physical reminders of that legacy to their communities. This work session will provide more details about the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Preserving Black Churches grant and walk through creating an account for the grant application system. The information we'll be sharing is aimed at church leadership and decision makers. Please plan to bring a laptop to the event to create a grant portal account. One person can register on behalf of all members attending from the same church. Registration is required to ensure we provide accurate estimates to our caterer. Event registration will close at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 22. If you have dietary restrictions, or need language services, please let us know via the registration form. 402 W Edenton St., Raleigh, NC 27603 City of Raleigh Historic Preservation919-996-4478historicpreservation@raleighnc.gov America/New_York public
