Historical Gems of Lincoln County, North Carolina

I've always loved to explore historical sites, I think alot of my interest started as I was growing up in Setauket, NY http://www.threevillagechamber.com/. Setauket had a rich colonial history that allowed my imagination to soar as a child. The Setauket Indian tribe, Revolutionary War battles, the local spy ring that aided George Washington's troops and more turned me into a bit of a history buff. When I first moved to North Carolina, I didn't see alot of local history as I had on Long Island. Well that all changed once I began driving the back roads of Lincoln County, NC http://www.co.lincoln.nc.us/. I quickly discovered many abandoned farms, barns, plantation homes, and roads. I joined the Lincoln County Historical Society http://www.lincolncountyhistory.com/ to learn about the places and sites I was discovering. As we close  2011, I'd like to share some photos that I have taken over the past year and hope you enjoy the black and white images as much as I do.
