Abstract:
Traditions associated with Christmas, German immigrant style, are still part of the Yuletide season for many North Carolinians. Traditions traced back to German immigrants also with a religious base include the Moravians’ Putz, a nativity related decoration, and Lebkuchen, a cookie. A holiday tradition with a somewhat dubious origin was the Christmas tree, this decoration possibly brought in by Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War.

Abstract:
A Martin County resident was inspired to participate in the fight to end the modern age equivalent of slavery.

Abstract:
Pictured parrots such as the South American Macaw have a reputation at Sylvan Heights Bird Park that's seemingly oxymoron by nature. Beauty can be perceived in their multi-colored plumage. The on-site perches and benches are vulnerable to their beaks and talons’ destructive potential.

Abstract:
For towns of yesteryear, general stores supplied an array of household goods and a community center. Threat to their survival came from the automobile, paved roads, and supermarkets. For many years, Menola’s Country Store of Yesteryear held a remnant of general stores’ onetime presence. After it closed, its artifacts were transported to the Murfreesboro Historical Association and Winborne Museum Store, making the store gone but not forgotten.

Abstract:
The survival of a business founded in 1913 can be found in more than its Tarboro location. What has helped the store to survive two major setbacks can also be found in personality traits such as patience and determination. It is such traits that helped build good customer service and community presence for Marrow-Pitt Hardware and its four generations of store owners.

Abstract:
Quilting through the centuries has experienced vast changes in purposes and patterns. Originally a padding for Crusaders’ armor, it gained popularity in the United States through communities such as Amish, community quilting bees, and fads such as the Log Cabin and crazy quilt. Quilting still has a presence in many communities through church quilting groups and community center classes, who can teach styles such as appliqued or pierced.

Abstract:
The current resident, great-granddaughter of Henry Gibbs, is more likely to call herself a custodian and her role a sacred obligation. Such labels can be attributed to the intangible and tangible contained in the house, stories and traditions as much as the collectibles passed down.
