Halifax County friends — I was recently asked by Steven Lassiter Green-Hockaday to help document some cemeteries across the county for an upcoming Halifax County cemetery book project connected to Halifax 250. The goal is to help preserve and record as many cemeteries as possible throughout the county.

If you have a family cemetery, small forgotten burial ground, or cemetery plot you would be willing to have included and documented, I would love to hear from you. These efforts help preserve local history and may also bring attention to cemeteries that have slowly faded from memory over the years.

I’ll be trying to document as many as I can over the next few months, so feel free to message me or Steven with any locations, information, or photos.

One thing I’ve noticed while exploring the small towns across Eastern North Carolina is just how many beautiful murals can be found painted across old brick buildings and downtown walls. They preserve pieces of local history and give each town its own personality and story.

This one is in Hobgood and features the town’s old train depot, which was moved, restored, and now sits in the center of town as a community center available for events and rentals. I love how murals like this help keep the stories of these places alive for future generations.

I know I’ve come across quite a few over the years, and I’d love to see the ones y’all have found around ENC too. Share your photos in the comments — I’ll post a few more of my favorites below later!
