    Education Recourse Packet for Teachers Dear Educators, Thank

    Education Recourse Packet for Teachers Dear Educators, Thank you for your interest in Somerset Place State Historic Site’s educational guided tours! We hope this packet will be helpful as you decide whether to bring your class to our historic site. This packet is designed to provide information about visiting our site, as well as ideas for activities to implement in your classroom before and after your field trip. Hopefully these activities will prepare the students for their trip, as well as reinforce what they learned during their experience at Somerset Place. Sincerely, The Staff of Somerset Place State Historic Site Phone: 252-797-4560 Email: [email protected] Website: https://historicsites.nc.gov/all-sites/somerset-place Today, Somerset Place State Historic Site is situated on 31 acres in Washington County, North Carolina. Most of the tour consists of walking outdoors and through seven buildings. We ask that visitors remember to wear comfortable walking shoes. In the spring and summer, an afternoon rain shower is not uncommon, and we do give guided tours in the rain. Please be prepared for this possibility. If you have scheduled a guided tour, we ask that your group arrives no later than 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. This will give you the opportunity to walk from the parking lot to our visitor center and for the group leader to fill out a brief group tour form. Since our restroom facilities are limited, allow students time to use the restrooms prior to the tour. We recommend allowing 15-30 minutes for this if you have a large group.

    Local Historic Landmark Designations

    Item No: AIR - 0080 Staff Responsible: Lisa McCarter Agenda Date: 10 Nov 2015 Prepared For: RE: DESCRIPTION Local Historic Landmark Designations MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FROM: LISA MCCARTER, PLANNER II SUBJECT: LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATIONS DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 2015 CC: MELODY SHULER, WARREN WOOD Request: BOC consideration to vote on the commencement of local historic landmark designation reports for four town owned structures: Duncan McDonald House (115 McDonald Street), Niven‐Price Mercantile Building (216 W. North Main Street), The Meeting Place (209 W. South Main Street) and the Waxhaw Water Tank (113 McDonald Street). Benefits of Local Landmark Designation: Local Historic Designation of structures provides economic benefits, tourism and placemaking benefits, and community‐building benefits. The Town of Waxhaw wishes to preserve the unique character of Waxhaw for generations to come—including its historic buildings. Historic buildings are integral to an excellent Waxhaw visitor experience. Historic structures that are aesthetically cohesive and well promoted can be a community’s most important attraction and reinforce Waxhaw’s unique sense of place. The retention of our historic structures is a way to attract tourist dollars that contribute to the local economy. Waxhaw Local Landmarks: There are currently three designated local historic landmarks in Waxhaw. These are the Waxhaw Woman’s Club (200 E. South Main Street), the Cockinos Building/Antique Mart (portion of the 100 block of W. South Main Street), and the downtown overhead pedestrian bridge over the CSX railroad line. Local Landmark Designation vs. National Historic Registry Listing: National Historic Registry listings are mostly honorary and do not impose any restrictions that prevent private property owners from making changes to their buildings or demolishing them.

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.

  • Sherman's March Through North Carolina

    Sherman's March Through North Carolina

    Published on NCpedia (https://www.ncpedia.org) Home > ANCHOR > Civil War and Reconstruction (1860-1876) > The War Comes to an End, 1864–1865 > Sherman's March Through North Carolina Sherman's March Through North Carolina [1] Share it now! On December 21, 1864, Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman completed his March to the Sea by capturing Savannah, Georgia. Sherman’s next move was to march northward through the Carolinas to Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Confederacy, where he would combine with the forces commanded by Union general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant. The massive juggernaut [2] under Grant and Sherman would ensure final victory for the Union by crushing Confederate general- in-chief Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. Before marching to Richmond, however, Sherman would halt at Goldsboro, North Carolina, and unite with a Union force commanded by Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield. Sherman began his Carolinas Campaign on February 1, 1865, by advancing into South Carolina. By February 17, his forces had captured Columbia, the capital of the Palmetto State. Thus far, the Confederates’ resistance in South Carolina was ineffective. On February 22, Lee ordered Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to assume command of the forces opposing Sherman. During the first week of March, Johnston frantically concentrated his scattered forces in central North Carolina, while Sherman advanced into the Tar Heel State. On March 10, Confederate cavalry [3] commander Wade Hampton surprised his Federal counterpart Judson Kilpatrick at Monroe’s Crossroads in an engagement later dubbed "Kilpatrick’s Shirttail Skedaddle." Although Kilpatrick quickly recovered from his shock and regained his camp, Hampton succeeded in opening the road to Fayetteville.
