Abstract:

Progress was made on the newest three NC historic sites. In Cabarrus county, stabilizing infrastructure was placed at Reed Gold Mine, the site of the country's first documented discovery of gold. North Carolina is in the process of recording the deed to the 37-acre Duke Homestead site, which will remain a living history site while adding a visitor's center and tobacco history museum. NC is waiting on approval for plans to improve Fort Dobbs in Statesville.
