Two pieces of historic furniture owned by Hillsborough will soon be on display in a branch of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
The pieces, made by North Carolina craftsman Thomas Day, will be displayed in the Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., as part of an exhibit of Day’s work.
The pieces were previously part of a N.C. Museum of History display.
Day, a free black man, operated a cabinet shop in Caswell County before the Civil War.
