Abstract:
At the end of the road stands Midway Plantation, built in 1848 as the seat of the extended Hinton family, whose many thousands of acres once stretched westward from Smithfield to outside Raleigh. Midway Plantation now graces a site a few miles from the original location on Highway 64 after a dramatic move in 2005 that is the subject of a major new documentary film by Godfrey Cheshire.
