The Dance is the Thing Music was as important in the 18th century
as it is today. It provided an entertaining way for colonists to connect
with others and to keep alive the traditions of the mother country. Listen
to the music of the common Scots-Irish settlers, join in song with
provincial soldiers, learn the steps to an English country dance and see the
present-day continuation of traditional musical styles. 2nd Saturdays will bring together North Carolina arts, history, and culture
at all 37 of the Department of Cultural Resources’ museums and Historic
Sites on June 12, July 10 and August 14, 2010. For more information, visit
