New Bern Avenue and Edenton Street History Marker Tour
In the early 1990s, people in the Idlewild and College Park communities came together to document the contributions of African Americans who lived and worked along New Bern Avenue and Edenton Street. There are 16 granite makers in the right-of-way that denote historically significant buildings, cemeteries, churches, and universities that tell the story of Raleigh's rich history. Before construction begins on the Bus Rapid Transit project these markers will be removed and lovingly restored. Once the project is complete the historic markers will be returned.
About the Maps
Each tour was developed and narrated by the Raleigh Digital Connectors program, a nationally-renowned program providing technology and leadership training for youths ages 14-18.
The Spring 2021 Raleigh Digital Connectors class collaborated with the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau to create maps that showcase some of Downtown Raleigh's most visited attractions, historic sites, and beautiful parks.
