THE EARTH WILL MOVE ON APRIL 18 for the
planned North Carolina Civil War and Reconstruction His-
tory Center in Fayetteville.
Organizers plan to break ground at noon that day for the
first phase of the $65 million project. at phase will include
moving two Civil War-era houses on the north side of Arse-
nal Avenue near the Ghost Tower to the southern end of the
project's property by Myrover and Branson streets.
e houses would be placed near the existing Culbreth
house, built in the same era, to create a "period" village.
A house at the corner of Arsenal Avenue and Myrover
Street, known as the Poe rental house (and not to be con-
fused with the historic E.A. Poe House on Bradford Avenue),
would also be moved, but off the property for the center be-
cause it was built in 1910.
Each of the houses on the center property would be used
for different purposes. One would be a support facility for
outdoor activities at the center. Another would be equipped
with state-of-the-art equipment for the center's digital out-
reach program. e third is intended to be a center for study
for academic scholars.
Ultimately, they would be joined on the property by a two-
story, 65,000-square-foot center aimed at telling the story of
the Civil War and the ensuing Reconstruction. at build-
