On November 21, 1789, the North Carolina General Assembly convened in what is now known as the Market House in Fayetteville to ratify the Constitution of the United States, which made North Carolina the 12th state to join the U.S. The Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex is currently displaying an exhibit on the ratification convention in Fayetteville, which is commemorating this historic event and features the page on which the signatures were made on the original ratification document.
It will run until December 14 and also have biographical descriptions of the delegates at the convention. The document is on loan from the Department of Cultural Resources of North Carolina and it will be the first time it has ever been displayed in public.
In order to provide additional insight into the exhibit, the Museum of the Cape Fear will be hosting a mini-symposium on November 22, which will feature scholars talking on the first convention in Hillsborough in 1788 where the delegates did not ratify the constitution; the 1789 convention where the delegates did ratify the Constitution; and the life of the average citizen of North Carolina.
Organizers may be calling on local printing companies to provide Flyers, Banners, and Posters to advertise these special events to the local community, and to visitors who plan to come to the area during this time.
