There is an article in the Free Press today on Harmony Hall and one on the Archbell House. Regardless of when Harmony Hall was built or who built it, it is still the oldest existing home in Kinston and is in desperate need of repair. It is a pretty old home with a nice garden and several outbuildings that have been moved to the grounds. One of the outbuildings is the Smoke House built ca 1820 give or take that my family gave the Historical Association. The Smoke House was built by the Harvey family. From list member Pat F. comes the information that Jan and Ted have been given an old jail building presently out in the country and they are trying to get it moved to Harmony Hall and restored. The Free Press has done an excellent job recently of getting their main articles on their website. I try to read the articles and the obits each morning as you can't read the old posts. The Free Press has been running a series of historical articles by staff writers and Ted Sampley in the last month. Maybe we can try and get them to do some articles on genealogy in the future. Sure would like to see more Bibles and other documents in private hands get copied for LCC and of course, our Archives. The URL for the Free Press is http://www.kinston.com/ Martha
