Abstract:

Over thirty years ago Sol Rose purchased thirty acres on the east bank of the Cape Fear River in Fayetteville. Now semi-retired from the surveying business he founded after graduating from North Carolina State University in 1951, Rose has plans for the area he calls Campbellton Landing. He built an amphitheater in 2004 and has plans for a restaurant and shops. The restaurant would be a pub-type, and the shops would sell outdoor merchandise for activities like archery, canoeing, and kayaking. Rose has discovered many historical facts about his property, such as Peter Lord receiving a franchise from the King of England in 1764 to operate a public ferry there.
