Abstract:
Documented by French explorers as early as 1564, as well as by Thomas Harriot, and John Lawson, Yaupon, a shrub of the Holly family that naturally grows between Virginia and Florida, was used, in the past, by Native Americans and eventually, Europeans, for a variety of purposes. Producing small red berries that can either be medicinal or decorative, Yaupon, has therapeutic qualities which reportedly, restores lost appetites, strengthens the stomach, offers agility and courage to those preparing for battle, and also serves as an emetic. In addition, Yaupon contains a high caffeine content and was used and traded as tea or a tea additive during the Colonial Period.

Abstract:
St. John's Lodge, also known as St. John's Tavern, was the first Masonic building erected in the state of North Carolina. Utilized for decades of meetings as well as celebrations, St. John's Tavern was eventually neglected, vandalized, and left derelict. Donated by Henry Bacon MaKoy and James Hasell McKoy, to the newly established, St. John's Art Gallery, Inc., of Wilmington, St. John's Tavern will become St. John's Art Gallery, and will serve as a school for those interested in allied arts.
