‘Priceless Gems’ from UNC’s History, Now on Display at Wilson Library
Posted May 30, 2025
You can see and hear all those artifacts – plus a letter written by a University of North Carolina student in 1795, a telescope from the early 1800s, a guitar once owned by Andy Griffith, basketball plays hand-drawn by Dean Smith, and more – all on display at the Wilson Library through June. And the Wilson staff will be happy to show you around.
