Oberlin Village, one of the original thirteen freed African-American communities in North Carolina, has all but disappeared.

The 1873 Oberlin Cemetery still remains and the grassroots nonprofit Friends of Oberlin Village hopes to raise funds for a thermal scan to determine burial locations for preservation.
