Cary, NC — As Cary celebrates its 150th birthday, the Town of Cary has created an online hub of celebrations at Cary150.org. A new edition to the site is the virtual Community Scrapbook.

“Every individual memory is a part of our town’s larger narrative, and we want to memorialize and celebrate your part in our collective history,” a statement from the Town says.

Take a look through the entries already made by community members on the Community Scrapbook page of Cary’s sesquicentennial website. You’ll find stories of everyday people, board members, volunteers and those who were born in Cary or who discovered Cary.

Share Your Story

To submit a memory for the virtual scrapbook, hit the “Share Your Story” tab on the website. You’ll fill out a form and attach any pictures.
