Join us at the Wake Forest Historical Museum for a presentation by author Mack Paul. He will discuss his new book titled Miracle Road: The Story of Research Triangle Park, which chronicles the remarkable transformation of North Carolina into a global hub for innovation and scientific discovery.

During this event, Mack Paul will share insights from his research, which includes over 160 interviews conducted with the visionaries behind the park. You will learn about the pivotal moments, personal stories, and decades of collaboration that led to the creation of the nation's largest research park. The session explores the intersection of government, academia, and business that fueled this economic powerhouse.

This event is ideal for history enthusiasts, local residents, and anyone interested in regional economic development or innovation history. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the determination required to build a lasting community legacy.
