Abstract:
The Pick Shin Nature Center, located outside the town of Dobson in Surry County, was developed as a living monument to history as part of an experiment in environmental education. The center features a replica of an old school house, a genuine one-room country store, restored farm equipment, and a log house built and occupied in 1875. In honor of the United States Bicentennial, the center will offer special educational programs recreating farm scenes of the past.
