Theme Day: My Favorite place in Town

Annie Louise Wilkerson Nature Preserve is my favorite place in town.  

At one time it was outside of Raleigh, the favorite get away for Annie Louise Wilkerson, a prominent doctor in Raleigh. It was a working farm when she owned it, and she used it to get away from the city.

When she passed away, she gave the land to the city to be used for education and preservation.

Her old farmhouse is now the education center.
