    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.

  • Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology

    Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology

    i BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by Barbara Lynn Brooks, Ann M. Merriman, Madeline P. Spencer, and Mark Wilde-Ramsing Underwater Archaeology Branch North Carolina Division of Archives and History April 2009 ii FOREWARD In the forty-five years since the salvage of the Modern Greece, an event that marks the beginning of underwater archaeology in North Carolina, there has been a steady growth in efforts to document the state’s maritime history through underwater research. Nearly two dozen professionals and technicians are now employed at the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (N.C. UAB), the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM), the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and East Carolina University’s (ECU) Program in Maritime Studies. Several North Carolina companies are currently involved in conducting underwater archaeological surveys, site assessments, and excavations for environmental review purposes and a number of individuals and groups are conducting ship search and recovery operations under the UAB permit system. The results of these activities can be found in the pages that follow. They contain report references for all projects involving the location and documentation of physical remains pertaining to cultural activities within North Carolina waters. Each reference is organized by the location within which the reported investigation took place. The Bibliography is divided into two geographical sections: Region and Body of Water. The Region section encompasses studies that are non-specific and cover broad areas or areas lying outside the state's three-mile limit, for example Cape Hatteras Area. The Body of Water section contains references organized by defined geographic areas.

LEVY r Reprinted from RHODORA, Vol. 79, No. 818, April 1977 pages 240-268 - A CONTRIBUTION TOW ARDS A VASCULAR FLORA OF THE GREAT DISMAL SWAMP LYTTON J. MUSSELMAN, DANIELL. NICKRENT,1 AND GERALD F. LEVY This flora is an enumeration of the vascular plants growing without cultivation in the Great Dismal Swamp. It is hoped that this work will be of value to the rapidly increasing number of persons visiting the swamp, particularly since the establishment of the Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in 1973. Great pains have been taken to ensure completeness of the inventory presented here. Yet, the Dismal Swamp is difficult to botanize, and additional species will undoubtedly be added to the present list. Previous botanical work in the swamp is listed in Kirk et al. (in press). LOCATION AND EXTENT OF AREA The Great Dismal Swamp, which occupies about 104,000 ha. of North Carolina and Virginia (Figure 1), is one of the largest remaining swamp forests on the Coastal Plain. Although the swamp is considered to be centered around Lake Drummond in the Virginia cities of Suffolk and Chesapeake, it extends into the North Carolina counties of Currituck, Camden, Perquimans, Gates, and Pasquotank. Except for the western edge, which is delimited by the Suffolk Escarpment (Henry, 1970), the boundaries of the swamp are not sharply defined. TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE The Dismal Swamp is situated on a low, poorly drained flat marine terrace which ranges from 4.5 to 7 m.

    Name: Class: Settling a New World: The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island By National Park Service 2016 The Fort Raleigh National Historic Site is dedicated to the preservation of England’s first New World settlements, as well as the cultural legacy of Native Americans, European Americans, and African Americans who lived on Roanoke Island. In 1585 and 1587, England tried its hand at establishing a colonial presence in North America under the leadership of Sir Walter Raleigh.
