The Krispy Kreme Challenge is a good-natured charity event that is held every February at North Carolina State University. The proceeds of this festival go to benefit the North Carolina Children's Hospital.
Paintings, photos, documents and other relics of Raleigh's past are housed in the City Of Raleigh Museum. The story of North Carolina's capital city is told in a variety of mediums, from detailed paintings to meticulously preserved documents and more. The interactive element is very much alive at the museum as well, as walking tours, lectures, and various other types of presentations make learning about the city's past a fun, memorable experience.
