Duke Homestead and Tobacco Factory

The Duke Homestead and Tobacco Factory is a special place in Durham, North Carolina. It is both a state historic site and a National Historic Landmark.

This is where Washington Duke started a big tobacco company called the American Tobacco Company many years ago.

Today, people can visit the old home where Washington Duke lived and see the factory where he made tobacco products. It helps us learn about life and work from long ago.

The place is cared for by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, showing how important it is for remembering history. It is a fun place to walk through and see how everyday life looked many years ago.
