Abstract:

In 2010, Rutherfordton is celebrating its 225th anniversary. It is a place of history. Christopher Bechtler minted the country's first $1 gold coin in 1831, and the town boasts the largest collection of antebellum architecture in their part of the state. Larkin describes some things to see and do in the town.
