Oak Grove Plantation

"Yikes! Something about throwing a party on such sacred land doesn’t sit right with me. History isn’t told in the full but you know how that goes."

"Beautiful old plantation home being restored and used for functions and tours. Still has existing bullet holes on all four exterior sides and cannonball damage inside. The home sat right in the middle of the Aversboro battlefield in 1865."

"Offers no history to the many black Smith families that live on locally."

"Love this house! it has soo much history, when I was a little boy I used to play in this house and so did my mother and her mother before me. It's not in its original location but it resides very close to it which is across the road from where it presently sits. Would love to go back and walk through and up the amazingly crafted staircases. Such a beautiful plantation home!"

"Lovely weekend of fun and remembering this beautiful historic house, and memorial of fallen friend. New friends and a great book, "No Such Army Since the Days of Julius Caesar" by Mark A. Smith and Wade Sokolosky."
