A LOOK AT THE PAST
Fayetteville is now a mid-sized city in North
Carolina and home to Fort Bragg, the largest
military installation in the world, but it wasn't
always like this.
In the middle of the 18th century, Scottish
settlers made their way up the Cape Fear
River and settled at a place which they called
Cross Creek. This town eventually merged
with the nearby settlement called Campbell-
ton to form the City of Fayetteville in 1783.
Where did I learn this? I visited the museum
on the second floor of Downtown Fayette-
ville's famous Market House, Fayetteville's
only National Historic Landmark. Featuring
old maps and pillars inscribed with informa-
tion, the Market House tells the story of how
the little Scottish township grew into the seat
of Cumberland County . . . . . .

The African-American Heritage Trail
consists of sites that provide a histori-
cal glimpse into the life of African-
Americans who resided in Fayetteville
and Cumberland County. The hard
labor borne by slaves, the entrepre-
neurship of free blacks, the devotion
to religion and education, the service
to our country, and the desire to learn
and preserve valuable history.
The communities of Cumberland
County offer plenty when it comes to
fishing and hunting. The Fish & Game

map to all the good spots.
