The Trinity College Memorial Gazebo, located on the southwest corner of NC Highway 62 and Trinity College Road in Trinity, North Carolina, marks the site of Trinity College, a Methodist institution founded in 1859. The college was moved to Durham in 1892, and formed the core of what would become Duke University. In 1984, following a six-year fundraising effort, local organizers erected the gazebo and placed in it a bell donated by Duke that was used at Trinity College during its tenure in Randolph County. Supporting the roof of the gazebo are eight columns from the college chapel, and adorning the approach are two urns that marked the entrance to the college.
