One of the displays in that area was a group of children's books about self-care, so charming and very needed! The only drawback, in my book, was that the restrooms are under lock-and-key, and a staff member has to unlock/open the bathroom door for you. The staff member was very nice about it, but it still felt a little awkward to me. I assume there's a reason for the policy, and I still love a community library. :-)

The marker reads, "In the late 1860s freed slaves founded Oberlin, the largest Reconstruction-era black settlement in Wake County. By 1880 some 160 families lived in Oberlin Village, named in tribute to the Ohio college that supported education for Negroes. They established Wilson Temple United Methodist Church in the late 1860s, Oberlin School about 1873, Oberlin Baptist Church about 1880, and Latta University about 1892. They buried their loved ones at Oberlin Cemetery (est. 1873), which exists 400 feet to the east/north east." In 1858, Jesse Pettiford, a free Black tenant farmer, purchased 16 acres of land along New Hillsborough Road west of Raleigh. After the Civil War, Lewis Peck, a wealthy white grocer, divided his farm into lots and sold them to African Americans at about $50 per acre. This area became known as Peck's Place and later Oberlin Village. Oberlin Village is a testament to the resilience and determination of its residents, who built a thriving community from the ground up. It stands as one of the longest-surviving and most intact Reconstruction-Era freedmen's colonies in North Carolina. [Review 2461 of 2024 - 3916 in North Carolina - 23473 overall]
