Abstract:
The Forbes Mill Pond, once located on the ground of what is now the Greenville Country Club, was a Pitt County landmark for 130 years. Reverend Noah Tyson owned Forbes Mill Pond’s and Robert Forbes bought it after 1805. The mill was the site of numerous baptisms, local gatherings, and disputes. The land became the Amuzu Amusement Park and land disputes and financial troubles put the mill in the hands of the Greenville Country Club in 1923; they eventually took down the mill dam. The only remnant of the landmark’s memory is the Tyson-Forbes cemetery which sits on the rise above the former mill site.
