To celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Mansion, the Preservation Society is hosting a dinner, dance, and auction on April 23rd at the Mansion. Tickets are available for $150 per person and may be purchased by calling (704) 714-4445. All proceeds from ticket sales and this auction benefit the preservation of the Duke Mansion.
