In 1972, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and in 2002 it was dedicated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. The designer was Matthew Nowicki, who was killed in a 1950 plane crash before construction began. It was the first permanent building in the world to support its roof by suspended steel cables.

Abstract:
They are long out of date and they were large-size and not as convenient as today's GPS, but without those maps of centuries ago, people then would have been lost. Huler visits Jay Lester to examine his collection of original, highly prized old maps, some dating back to the 16th century. Huler discusses what can be learned about history and people from these colorful creations by the cartographers of the day and what the maps of today will tell the future generations about us. He and Lester make a visit to the Vault Room at UNC Wilson Library to see the map collection there.

Abstract:
Cited as the third largest lake in North Carolina and home to endemic species, Lake Wacccamaw’s unique qualities include theories for its origins. Beliefs about the Carolina Bays’ creation range from the handiwork of meteors to the swimming patterns of its fish. As for the community surrounding the lake, Whiteville residents are also defined by the author as endemic. They thrive on small town values, such as tending to the town’s history and resisting a transformation into a tourist site.
