Abstract:
The highway as North Carolina’s colonists knew it was the primary pathway for many. Covering 700 miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to August, Georgia, this road largely traveled by foot played a pivotal role in creating some of the state’s metros and major cities. Commemorating the importance of the Great Wagon Road are items in the Rowan Museum such as a wagon made by John Israel Nissen, descendant of original travelers of the road. A personal sign of the road’s importance is on display at the Knox Farm: the rim of one of The Great Wagon’s wheels. John Knox’s eighth generation descendants can’t attest the rim was on their ancestor’s wagon; they only know it’s always been part of the farm’s landscape.

Abstract:
"The butlers at Winston-Salem's Graylyn Estate carry on a tradition established nearly a century ago by a globe-trotting hostess who wanted every guest to feel appreciated." Featuring 85 guest rooms, the Graylyn Estate Manor House was completed in 1932 in the Norman Revival style and is situated on 55 acres owned by Wake Forest University. Graylyn was the former home of Bowman and Natalie Gray, benefactors of cultural life, education and health care in the Winston-Salem community.
