Abandoned Farmsteads in North Carolina: Lost History and Wasted Housing

Record #:
15845
Abstract:
Abandonment and neglect are destroying the well-built farmhouses vital to North Carolina's rural heritage and landscape; in these actions, history is lost and valuable housing stock is wasted. But there are possibilities of a brighter future for old homeplaces. One is the increasing number of people moving back to rural areas of North Carolina and these buildings also offer attractive places for preservation initiatives.
