The Brunswick County/Lake Gaston Tourism
Association worked with officials at Saint Paul's College before it
closed to secure and store the historical artifacts, records,
photographs, memorabilia and other items documenting the life of James
Solomon Russell and the college he founded. Those items will be housed
together in a museum and archive. A committee has been formed to start
work on creating the James Solomon Russell/Saint Paul's College Museum
and Archive. The newly formed committee would like to invite those who
may be interested in serving on the board or helping with the
project to attend their meetings - the third Tuesday of each month at 2
p.m. in the former school board office at 219 N. Main Street in
Lawrenceville.
"This new museum will be a great asset to this
community, both alumni groups and all visitors who want to research and
browse the works of this distinguished intellectual pioneer," said James
Grimstead, chair of the committee, "and hopefully inspire our youth to
pinpoint this place to make their mark."
