Martin Marietta Center Unveiling

On Mar. 2, Raleigh’s premier arts venue officially raised the curtain on its new name: Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts. Hosted in its grand lobby, the center honored the milestone by unveiling premier signage during a ceremony in front of city leaders, local officials and executive leadership.

Just a short drive away, there’s a perfect place to escape for the day.

Our 100-year-old historic house is a storied venue for events and programs that will spark your mind, and feed your senses. If you prefer, you are welcome to roam our 26 acres of gardens and grounds, or picnic on our lush lawns.

We’re conveniently nestled in the heart of Southern Pines, a quaint town, which boasts a host of restaurants and cute boutiques that also offer something for everyone.

So next time you have the urge to get out of town, put us on your GPS. You can experience a real getaway, but still get home in a single day.
