Description

The Good Ol' Girls are coming to Hillsborough! Legendary Nashville singer/songwriters Matraca Berg and Marshall Chapman are winging in from Tennessee to join Hillsborough's own, novelists Lee Smith and Jill McCorkle, for a special holiday performance in the spirit of their great original musical review with new stories and songs!

It's a rollicking tribute to the sassy and the sweet in support of preserving Hillsborough's 19th century gem, The Burwell School Historic Site. The doors open at 5 for check-in and a welcome reception. The performance starts at 6:00 when the Good Ol' Girls take the stage!

But don't let the evening end there -- buy your additional ticket for the rock & rollin' bonus party after the concert at the Hot Tin Roof in Hillsborough, where you can have a cold beer or a glass of wine, enjoy down home food provided by Hillsborough's fabulous La Place Restaurant, and "party with the stars" -- the Good Ol' Girls themselves.

So if you are "making a list and checkin' it twice," be sure to add the Good Ol' Girls performance and the bonus after-party to your holiday plans!

About Us

The Burwell School Historic Site is a great place to visit to learn about 19th century Hillsborough and American history.   It's operated by the Historic Hillsborough Commission, a local non profit board, and reflects the dedication of the greater community.   

There's a lot to learn and see here:

  • early women's education in the Antebellum South, and the lives of the 200 girls who were educated here from 1837 - 1857 in the school operated by Anna and Robert Burwell
  • the remarkable Elizabeth Keckly, who was enslaved on the site as a young woman
  • research into other persons of color associated with the Burwell School
  • the residency of the Josiah Collins family during the Civil War (the "Beehive Years")
  • three venerable buildings, beautiful furniture and interesting items from bygone days.

Please explore our web site to learn more about us, and visit us soon.  We are located at 319 N. Churton Street in the Historic District of Hillsborough, NC.
