Today, 2:00

Special program sponsored by the Moore County Historical Association being held this Sunday, October 28th at 2:00pm at the Southern Pines Civic Club.

It's a terrific lecture event by our own past-president and historian, Ray Owen! If you are interested in everything Southern Pines, Pinehurst and Moore County, then you won¹t want to miss this great historic photo presentation on the Sandhills during the Country Place Era.

Its all about a time in our past when the Sandhills was not about golf courses nor riding trails, nor when it was a huge pine forest - but when from Pinehurst to Southern Pines to Cameron to all connecting towns, this was the center of agriculture. From dewberries, to peaches, to just about every imaginable crop, there was a period of time when agriculture ruled.... and when one of the largest experimental farms in the United States, over 5,000 acres, was located right here!

So, join us on Sunday at 2:00 pm at the Civic Club located at 105 S. Ashe Street in Southern Pines for this special presentation by Ray. It's complimentary and a great way to find out more about this special place we all call home.
