In celebration of America's 250th birthday, the "Burgwin-Wright Presents..." podcast is honoring North Carolina's Great American Treasures, the historic properties saved and supported by The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of North Carolina.

Each month in 2026, the podcast will visit one of these properties to tell its history and explore how the North Carolina Dames became involved in preserving its legacy for future generations. To begin this special series, we are starting at home –– or rather the Dames' headquarters –– with a look at the 20th century history of the Burgwin-Wright House and how the Dames defied the odds to save it from demolition on the brink of World War II.

Our returning special guest Christine Lamberton, the museum director for the Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, shares why the Dames made it their mission to rescue the house and restore it to its colonial glory, and how they faced war, the Great Depression and big corporations to do it.
