READ [PDF] Snow Camp, North Carolina (Brief History)

Description :
A small village, rich in North Carolina history, Snow Camp has long been a
crossroads and an outsider to the Old North State. Settled in 1749 by the
oldest Quaker meeting still in the region, the community has been involved in
the nation's history since its origin. The Regulators Movement formed over
unfair taxation by the North Carolina colony and helped inspire more famous
protests in Boston. Freedom's Hill Wesleyan Church arose in Snow Camp to
resist the dominant pro-slavery culture of both the state and the Methodist
Church in 1847. The Underground Railroad held faith in Snow Camp, having
four stations in the small area alone. Join author and resident J. Timothy Allen
as he chronicles Snow Camp's compelling past, present and future.
