Exhibit Set At
Mars Hill Library
As North Carolina
celebrates her 400th birthday,
we are reminded that each
area of the state is rich in it's
own history.
The city and county of
Halifax placed a very impor
tant part in the history of
North Carolina. The town of
Halifax was established in
1758 and quickly became a
leading center of judicial,
political, commercial, and
social activity.
During the bi-centenmal
celebration, the Halifax Coun
ty Bi-Centennial commission
compiled a massive scrap
book of information about ac
tivities of Halifax during the
celebration and the restora
tion of many fine historic
places.
The Mars Hill branch of the
Madison County Public
Library is honored to have on
display, this scrapbook, along
with the coat-of-arms of
George Mountagu, Earl of
Halifax, for whom the town
was named. This is an in
teresting piece of Eastern
North Carolina history and
everyone is invited to come in
and inspect this display. The
scrapbook and coat of arms
have been loaned to us by John
M. Oliver, a resident of Mars
Hill and Chairman of the
Halifax Bi-Centennia! Com
mission, and Margaret
Phillips, Director of the
Historic Halifax Association,
and will be on display until
May 28. 1984. and will be on
display at the main library in
Marshall until June 1, 1984
