Routes are carefully selected to embody the diverse beauty and culture of the Tar Heel State and provide travelers with a safe and interesting alternate route. These byways are intended as an option to the faster-paced traffic and commercial areas found along our major highways and interstates. Following the byways, you will see some of the most breathtaking scenery from the Blue Ridge Mountains to fertile plains and the crystal blue coastline. The routes are clearly marked with highway signs and the Scenic Byways logo (shown below). Please follow the maps and route descriptions carefully. A North Carolina Transportation Map is recommended for use in conjunction with the maps in this booklet. Portions of some routes are not suitable for recreational vehicles because of vehicle weight limits and curvy roads. These byways have been identified in the descriptions at the end of the text with a . Alternative routes are given when possible. Also, a few routes may be briefly interrupted by commercial or municipal areas. In such cases where the scenic byway temporarily ends, directions are given where to resume the route. Approximate travel times and mileage also are included for each byway to help motorists plan their travels accordingly. These times are intended as a general guide. Please allow extra time to visit some of the specific sites. North Carolina Scenic Byways are selected based on natural, cultural and historic features along the route. They vary in length from three to 173 miles and in character from curvy mountain roads to ferry rides across coastal sounds. You will see little or no development along the routes which detracts from the natural character and quality of the byway. If you follow the byways in reverse order from the descriptions given, please keep in mind that the directions will reverse. Enjoy your journey as you explore along these roads less traveled.

For purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, we concur that the following properties are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under the criterion cited: Ea lL4 George B.

The boundary justification proposes following right-of-way along SR 1388, but does not indicate how much right-of-way exists. Thus, we will assume the boundary follows the ditch line along SR 1388. Otherwise, the boundaries are acceptable to us. Stecoah School. This 1 931 school is eligible under Criterion A for 002S education, as one of two consolidated schools built in Graham County prior to World War II.

The essence of chic and a beautiful woman, Audrey Hepburn, brought a certain “magic” quality to the screen. Synonymous with oversized sunglasses and the little black dress, many are unaware of the hardships she endured while growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland. Starring in classic movies such as Sabrina, My Fair Lady, and of course, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Audrey Hepburn brought effortless style and grace to the silver screen. Following the many Zoom training opportunities offered in the last two weeks of September, let’s put our training to the test! The Technology Team recommended we conduct the first zoom class without a live presenter so we can ensure that everything is working correctly to set us up for a successful semester. Below is the format of our first LIFE@ Elon class on Zoom – enjoy this documentary about the one and only Audrey Hepburn! Open Class On Tuesday mornings, you will receive an email with a link for the class. (If the presenter has a handout, we will attach it to the email.) Twenty minutes before the start of class, we will have the meeting open so you can click on the link to join. Kathryn Bennett, the Program Coordinator, will be there to greet members as they are logging on, and Katie Mars, the Technology Specialist, will be present, as well.

C. 27602 BOGGAN-HAMMOND HOUSE DEDICATED May 9 was the date of the dedication of the Boggan-Hammond House in Wadesboro and of the Cedar Creek Meeting House in Lilesville. The resto­ rations have been continuing projects of the Anson County Historical Society. Dr. H. G. Jones was the main speaker for the dedication ceremonies; Mr. Linn D.

Pat Taylor, Jr., and Representative Fred Mills. Par­ ticipants in the Wadesboro dedication, in addition to those mentioned above, were the Reverends Joseph Lash, Cherry Livingston, Ernest Page, James B. Sides, and H. Howard Smith. The oldest wing of the Boggan-Hammond House is thought to be the first house built in Wadesboro. Actually two houses, the original home was built by Captain Patrick Boggan in the late 1700s; the Alexander Little wing was built in the 1800s.
