Cherry Hill Plantation

Cherry Hill, built in 1858, is the home of the Cherry Hill Historical Foundation and the venue for several classical music concerts each year. Concerts are open to the public for a nominal donation of $10.00 per adult, $5.00 per student, and children 12 and under are free. Concerts are held on Sunday afternoons in the spring and fall. Pianists, violinists, vocalists, and artists with other musical talents perform in the old world tradition of using private homes rather than concert halls. A magnificent concert grand graces the spacious entry hall and is the focal point for each performance. Refreshments are served following the event, and the artists visit with their audience in the dining room and parlors of the plantation house. A Handicap lift is provided in the back of the house for those who need to use it.

This historic property is located in the Inez community of Warren County, North Carolina, approximately 1 hour north of Raleigh.

CHERRY HILL TO PRESENT SACRED AND PATRIOTIC MUSIC

Posted on: November 8th, 2026

The Cherry Hill Concert Series will present a program of sacred and patriotic music with audience participation on Sunday, November 15th at 3:00 PM. Pianist Daniel Steinert will direct the program, which will include the talents of violinist Eric McCracken. Adding their voices to the program will be the Cherry Hill Children’s Voices under the direction of Joyce Roberts, music director of the Cherry Hill Concert Series.

The program, entitled “America, the Beautiful” will feature works by Saint-Saens, Scott Joplin, Aaron Copland, Irving Berlin, Rodgers & Hammerstein as well as seasonal sacred music. For the past 5 years Cherry Hill has presented a November concert that features Thanksgiving as the holiday season begins. The patriotic theme has been included in honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of our country.

 Dr. Steinert has offered his musical gifts for 50 years with orchestras, choirs, and choruses, the last 19 years as Minister of Music at Christ United Methodist Church in Chapel Hill. He is the founding director of the Northeast Piedmont Chorale, and is well remembered as former organist and choir director of Wesley Memorial Methodist Church in Warrenton. Dr. Steinert also serves as Co-Dean of the American Guild of Organists’ Durham-Chapel Hill chapter.

 Eric McCracken has made a number of appearances at Cherry Hill and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Cherry Hill Historical Foundation. He is a retired member of the North Carolina Symphony and now teaches privately. He also operates Gardens of Portridge, a source of perennial plants at his home in Franklin County.

  The Cherry Hill Children’s Voices consists primarily of piano students of Mrs. Roberts and violin students of Mr. McCracken.

   A reception will follow the program, and admissions will be taken at the door. For further information visit www.cherryhillconcerts.com or call 252-257-5259.
