Mecklenburg County's Rural Landscape: What's Vanishing and What's Saved May 15, 2011

Mecklenburg County is quickly losing its farms and farm life. But some elements of our rural landscape have been preserved, including fascinating ruins of plantation homes and slave cemeteries that shed light on our past. What rural landmarks have we successfully saved in Charlotte?  What have we lost?  And what are the fights going on now?

Join Dr. Dan Morrill, consulting director of Charlotte Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission, for a free presentation and film about our rural preservation successes and challenges.

The event is free but reservations are required.  To reserve your spot, call 704/714-4448 or email pmartin@tlwf.org. Reservations are due by Friday, May 13.
