North Carolina Bed and Breakfast

The Historic Magnolia House

Welcome to The Magnolia House an events venue, restaurant, and bed and breakfast in Greensboro, NC. One of maybe four Green Book sites in North Carolina still in operation and housed some of our nation’s most well-known African Americans during segregation. Whether you’re looking for a private and comfortable stay, a place to host a private gathering, attend one of our upcoming events, or come by for Sunday brunch, we hope you’ll enjoy the rich history of The Magnolia House.

Built in the 1940s, the Historic Magnolia House was once a refuge for Black travelers listed in the legendary Green Book. The Gist family opened their doors to guests who were denied lodging elsewhere due to segregation. Today, the property has been beautifully restored by Natalie Pass-Miller, the granddaughter of the original owners. The Magnolia House serves as both a boutique inn and a museum, preserving the history of Black travel in America.
