About this Event
Join us at the Wake Forest Historical Museum as we welcome author Mack Paul. We are excited to hear him talk about the story of this invaluable North Carolina area.
Miracle Road: The Story of Research Triangle Park, by Mack Paul and Allen Paul, tells the remarkable story of how North Carolina transformed from one of America's poorest states into a global center of innovation, technology, and scientific discovery. Drawing on more than 160 interviews, the book reveals the vision, determination, and decades of collaboration behind the creation of Research Triangle Park—the nation's largest research park. Through fascinating personal stories, groundbreaking discoveries, and pivotal moments in history, Miracle Road explores how leaders in government, business, academia, and local communities built an economic powerhouse that continues to shape the world. More than a regional history, it's an inspiring story of what is possible when bold ideas meet sustained commitment—and a blueprint for communities seeking to build their own innovation economies.
