Abstract:
Weymouth, novelist James Boyd's 9,000-square-foot home in Southern Pines, was a meeting ground for the Boyds and many of the country's best writers in the 1920s and 30s. When the house was put up for sale after the Boyds' death, state poet laureate Sam Ragan led efforts that saved it from developers in the 1970s. Today Weymouth hosts many functions and also continues literary traditions with a Writers-in-Residence Program that grants writers two-week residencies to work on their projects.
