Where in Carolina
Country is This?

The February Where Is This photo by Rachel Gannon features the Eagle Tavern, located on the corner of St. David and King Streets in Historic Halifax. Built in 1790 and originally located down the road, the tavern is just one of the pre- and post-American Revolution sites found in this old port town along the Roanoke River. A key event in the fight against King George happened at the colonial courthouse, which once stood in the field behind the clerk’s building on King Street: North Carolina’s Provincial Congress met here in 1776 and adopted the “Halifax Resolves” on April 12, the first official act by a colony demanding independence from England. This date is forever engrained on the state flag.

The winning entry chosen at random from all correct submissions came from John Jaffee of Todd, a Blue Ridge Energy member.
