Durham Historical Society – Silent Auction & Pie Bake-Off
May 9 @ 5:00 pm - May 23 @ 5:00 pm
Become part of history and experience the artistry, craftsmanship, and local businesses featured at our 2nd Annual Silent Auction. Step back in time and bid on unique items while supporting the preservation of our community’s past. The event will feature a live performance by Papa Tim & the Whiskey Throttle Band, a pie-baking contest, and a tintype photographer!
Every registration and bid at this event brings us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can help preserve local history for generations to come.
In celebration of our anniversary festivities, the Durham Historical Society is pleased to announce a contest to determine Durham’s Finest Pie. All capable bakers, whether practiced homemaker or ambitious newcomer, are invited to present their best work for honorable judging.
Enter your best pie and help celebrate Durham’s history, one slice at a time. Pull out your family’s favorite recipe and join in good ol’ fashioned fun. The Durham Historical Society of yore often had pie bakes as fundraisers and in honor of our past members we are resurrecting the tradition at our silent auction. Pie must be a homemade fruit based pie with a homemade crust.
Prizes and public distinction await the victor, along with the everlasting satisfaction of claiming the title of Durham’s Best Pie of 2026. Let ovens be stoked and rolling pins made ready.
