Franciscan Friars Conventual

The Franciscan Friars Conventual have owned Carrollton Hall since 1928. Under their stewardship, the house has served as a novitiate, residence, and meeting space. In 2016, the friars began a restoration of Carrollton Hall that led to the house being opened to the public as an historic site for the first time.

We seek to tell the inclusive history of all the people who have inhabited the land at Folly Quarter, most of whom have been underrepresented, marginalized, or suppressed. Through this telling, the historic site of Carrollton Hall serves as a space to examine the roots of today’s social and racial inequalities and to explore opportunities for healing and repair.
