That's a shame as it recalls the valiant efforts of this enterprising tribe. It reads, "In 1870 a group of Croatan Indians migrated from their homes in Robeson County North Carolina, following the turpentine industry to southeast Georgia. Eventually many of the Croatans became tenant farmers for the Adabelle Trading Company, growing cotton and tobacco. The Croatan community established the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Adabelle, as well as a school and a nearby cemetery. After the collapse of the Adabelle Trading Company, the Croatans faced both economic hardship and social injustice. As a result, most members of the community returned to North Carolina by 1920. The tribe to which these families belonged became known as the Lumbee in the early 1950s." And by "returning to North Carolina," I assume that they returned all the way to Cape Hatteras. Even today, that's a journey. 600 miles by highway and you can be sure there was no Interstate 95 before 1920. [Review 13231 overall, 548 of 2020.]

An unexpected beautiful Classical Revival structure, the Bulloch County Courthouse was built in…read more1894 and renovated in 1914. The white plaster and red brick make for a stunning structure and if you're in the area, worth your time to stop by and check it out. It is an active courthouse holding sessions here and in the judicial annex across the street. On September 18, 1980, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. There is some street parking for a quick visit or proper lots if you have business in the courthouse. [Review 13228 overall, 545 of 2020.]

This well maintained marker recalls the Civil War and an important encounter between Confederate…read moreand Union troops. "Approaching Statesboro on Dec. 4, 1864, a strong party of mounted foragers from Hazen's division, 15th Corps [US], on the right of Gen. Sherman's army on its destructive March to the Sea, was attacked by a detachment of Confederate cavalry and driven back to the protection of Hazen's marching column." "The Seventieth Ohio Infantry (leading the Union advance) deployed, fired a volley, and charged with the bayonet, driving the cavalry back through Statesboro and clearing the way for the advance. During this encounter, the Confederates lost 6 killed, 1 wounded, and 2 captured; Hazen lost 8 wounded and 27 captured, all from the foraging party." The Civil War was a critical time in American history. What happened, how it happened and why is a part of what brought us to today. [Review 13227 overall, 544 of 2020.]
