Today, we’re launching a new series called Into the Archives. We’ll take a look at some Haywood (and Haywood adjacent) papers in archives around North Carolina.
Today, we’re looking at a 1820-1821 housekeeping memoranda book written in by Eliza Haywood when she was mistress of Haywood Hall. Note that she bought “red lead for hearth paint”!
What sort of thing would you like to see from the archives?
