Free admission.
The Orange County Historical Museum in downtown Hillsborough interprets the history of Orange County through exhibits and programs. Visitors explore displays in a 1934 building constructed during New Deal programs, originally built as the town's public library in 1910. The museum offers free tours upon request, allowing guests to learn about the area's past at their own pace. The museum hosts special exhibits and events throughout the year, including programs like LiberTea, where costumed interpreters share historical narratives from Hillsborough's past. Staff members coordinate exhibits and educational programs for visitors of all interests. General admission is free, and the museum operates most days throughout the week. The building occupies the corner of N. Churton and W. Tryon streets in downtown Hillsborough, with free municipal parking available nearby.
Admission is free. The venue says: “The museum is free and open to the public”
