Abstract:

Near Lillington in Harnett County stands Raven Rock. This geological relic, at least 500 million years old, stretches over a mile and rises 150 feet above the Cape Fear River. The rock has survived, while the river has swept everything around it away over time. Today it is the centerpiece of 3,920-acre Raven Rock State Park. Ellis recounts the history of the rock and park.
