Just found this by accident on the Marshall GenForum and thought some of you might be interested if you live near Greensboro. Martha Many who subscribe to this list ask questions about the basic lifestyle and beliefs of their Quaker ancestors, and many of you have Quaker connections in North Carolina. There is to be a study program at Guilford College on June 9-14, 2002 that may be of interest to you. Exploring Carolina Quaker Crossroads is a weeklong residential study program for adults that examines the Quakers who settled Piedmont, North Carolina. Attendees will stay on the campus of Guilford College (est. as New Garden Boarding School in 1837). The famous confrontation of Lord Cornwallis and Gen. Nathaniel Green,the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, took place nearby at what is now a National Park, and many soldiers who died in the battle are buried in the New Garden cemetery. The old meetinghouse was used as a hospital. Emphasis will be on how the beliefs and practices of Friends helped to shape North Carolina. Activities include a dramatization of Levi Coffin, the �President� of the Underground Railroad, visits to the Mendenhall Plantation, a Quaker pottery at New Salem, the Cane Creek/Snow Camp historical area, stops at Springfield, Centre, New Garden and Cane Creek meetings; and the Springfield Museum of Early Domestic Life. Also there will be opportunities to do genealogical research in the Friends Historical Collection at Guilford College, where the original minutes of most N. C. meetings are kept, as well as published histories and files on many Quaker families. It is the largest repository of Quaker records in the South. Other nearby attractions are Old Salem, a historical restoration of a Moravian town; and the NC Zoological Parknear Asheboro. Mountains and beach are about 3 hrs. away in opposite directions.
