Bland Simpson comes to the narrows of the Pasquotank River

the Dismal Swamp 15 miles north in 1793.
This historic port boasts a rich history and cultural community
showcased in
its expansive historic district, reemerging downtown
arts, the Museum of the Albemarle, avionics and even the great
unsolved mystery of Nell Cropsey's murder.

PIne straw now numbers among North Carolina's significant agricultural products. To supplement their other crops, farmers started gathering and selling pine needle bales for landscaping projects. Most of these needles come from
the Sandhills where the longleaf pine grows
needles up to 18-inches long. Meet some of the
producers, including the Claridge State Nursery in Goldsboro, to see how
this commodity emerged as such an asset to North Carolina's
agricultural industry.
