Abstract:

Before modern technology, the only way to detect a wildfire was to watch from a tower. Many of these forestry towers, though not in use, are still standing and have become an integral part of Western North Carolina hiking trails. Fryingpan Mountain Lookout Tower, located near Pisgah National Forest, is the tallest in the Western half of the state.

Abstract:

Community clock towers serve as landmarks in many cities across North Carolina. Many of the clocks have come to symbolize the towns. For example, Henderson firefighters wear the image of their town clock tower on their shoulder patches. A number of towns, like Madison, feature their clocks on their websites. Paige describes a number of clock towers, including those in Hillsborough, New Bern, Statesville, Madison, and Henderson.
