Two-and-a-half centuries ago, the Revolutionary War patriots dreamed of a place where they could leave their mark.

To build lives, raise a family and pursue their dreams.

On Thursday, May 28, on the grounds of Sumter Museum, a joint effort between Sumter's Home Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Col. Matthew Singleton Chapter of Sons of the American Revolution's America 250 Committees commemorated their sacrifice.

Great place to visit, esp for numismatists! Not far from the NCNA Convention venue, the Cabarrus County Convention Center. Every regional coin club should schedule a Field Trip here. Hmmm…

On May 28, 1845, John Reed, the owner of the property where the first documented discovery of gold in the United States took place, died. In 1799, Reed’s son, Conrad, found a 17-pound yellow rock in Little Meadow Creek. Conrad brought it home, where it was used as a doorstop for years. The elder Reed made several unsuccessful attempts to discern the rock’s value. In 1802, a merchant in Fayetteville paid the family $3.50 for it. Later, Reed discovered that the rock was in fact gold and that the merchant received $3,600 from its sale.

In 1803, after turning a substantial profit selling nuggets found along the creek, Reed ventured into a partnership to purchase enslaved miners to search for gold. The venture was rewarded with a 28-pound nugget, the discovery of which sparked an era of gold fever. The Reed Mine helped establish North Carolina’s mining industry 20 years before the California Gold Rush. So much gold was discovered in the Charlotte area that, in 1837, the Federal Government established a branch of the United States Mint there to transform it into currency. In recognition of the mine’s contribution to state history, the Reed Gold Mine is now a state historic site.
