Ellerbe, located in Richmond County, has a population of approximately 1,000. A mineral spring gave the town its start, and the Ellerbe Springs Inn and Restaurant was built there in 1906. The inn is now a bed and breakfast and has thirteen room accommodations. Several produce stands attract visitors with fresh fruit and vegetables, and the downtown area features the Rankin Museum of American History, Carolina Antiques and Restorations, and the Farm Supply Store.

Abstract:
Around the turn of the century, many North Carolinians vacationed at one of several hotels built near mineral springs in the sandhills. Constructed in 1850, Ellerbe Springs Hotel, now Ellerbe Springs Restaurant, is the only hotel still in operation. Built by a South Carolina plantation owner, the hotel was sold to T. C. Leak after the Civil War. During World War II, the building was leased to the U.S. Government to train women in communications, and was visited by Eleanor Roosevelt. Currently, Harris M. McRae and Robert A. Henderson own the hotel and run a successful restaurant out of it.

Camp Corral in Ellerbe paid a special sort of tribute to the military: a free summer camp for children of fallen or disabled soldiers. Conceived by Golden Corral’s founder as a way to give back to the armed forces, it provides a place to befriend other children of military members, along with the traditional summer camp activities.
