Abstract:

The measurement of Edenton’s historical significance to North Carolina extends back the mid eighteenth century, when it was the state capital. The measure of its history extends to modern day, with the town’s efforts to preserve its Colonial roots. This is evident in facilities such as the courthouse, built in 1767, and historic houses such as the Barker House, built in 1783.

Abstract:

Asheboro was always a small Southern mill town and once the textile and furniture plants relocated, downtown businesses struggled to survive. But as the city revitalization project began with Bicentennial Park and the liberation of liquor laws, new businesses are quickly populating once empty storefronts.
