Randolph has been at the crossroads of history since the 17th century, when explorers first arrived along the Great Indian Trading Path. Every variety of religion, creed, and color could be found in the county from its creation in 1779, with combinations that often proved volatile. From the Uwharrie Mountains in the west to the Deep River Valley on the east, Randolph has been home to powerful opposing forces. It is a county where potters are more common than doctors, and home to five of North Carolina’s first textile mills, yet it remains one of the state’s leading agricultural producers. Its residents refused to secede from the Union but sent six companies into Confederate service. Although settled by pacifist Quakers, bitter guerrilla warfare pitted neighbor against neighbor in both the American Revolution and the Civil War. A dry county that permitted no sales of alcoholic beverages, it fostered the racing spirit of NASCAR by running moonshine along its back roads. Randolph is home to North Carolina’s 39th Governor, Jonathan Worth; Naomi Wise, immortalized in the traditional American ballad performed by Doc Watson; NASCAR icon, Richard “The King” Petty; World Professional Bull Riding Champion, Jerome Davis; Rufus “The Beanshooter” Hussey, whose notoriety took him to a famed appearance with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show in 1986; New York Times Best Selling Author, Jerry Bledsoe; 2013 National Senior Games gold medal winner, John Q. Pugh, Jr.; Guy Troy, modern pentathlon gold medal winner, 1951 Pan-American Games; World Skeet Shoot Champion, Craig Kirkman; and birthplace of professional baseball player, Joe Frazier. Today it is best known as home to the North Carolina Zoo, the nation’s largest natural habitat zoo, celebrating 40 wild years in 2014. Randolph is a county with a history, politics, and people of vision and depth where locals welcome visitors with a generous spirit and North Carolina’s trademark southern hospitality! 1 ELCOME W HeartofNorthCarolina.com • 800.626.2672 2 elcome to Randolph County, the heart of the state of North Carolina and home to the most beautiful zoological park in the country. The North Carolina Zoo is located in the middle of a rapidly-expanding urban arc stretching from Raleigh, the state capital, to Charlotte, the largest city and major U.S. financial center. In my 45 years in the zoo world, having seen and worked with most of the major zoos worldwide, I can honestly say that none of them approach the beauty of this site, both in its natural settings and those that we have created. At 2,200 continuous acres, we are the largest zoo geographically in the world giving us enormous potential for expansion. With public concerns about keeping large wild animals in small spaces, the Zoo will be one of the few zoos in the U.S. with the space to exhibit elephants and other large animals in the future. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary this year, we recognize our zoo as a state icon that all North Carolinians can take pride in and look forward to connecting our visitors with wildlife and wild places in 2014.

The ceramic history of the area began with the abundant and diverse natural clay deposits found in the area. Native Americans were first to discover this resource and used it for both functional and ceremonial objects. Throughout the 1950s, potters worked together to promote the area. The 1960s and 70s were characterized by social changes across America with the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration bringing a renewed interest in handcrafts. The development of ceramic arts programs by nearby community colleges led to the training of many area residents, and Seagrove potters continued to train their children or other interested apprentices in their craft. Studio artists began to settle in the area bringing visible changes to Seagrove throughout the remainder of the 20th century. In 1982, local citizens, recognizing the strength of continuing to preserve the history and heritage of their craft, began to celebrate annually the weekend before Thanksgiving by organizing the Seagrove Pottery Festival. This festival weekend has now grown to include both the Seagrove Pottery Festival and the Celebration of Seagrove Potters. Today Seagrove is known as the handmade pottery capital of the United States where artisans create handcrafted pottery inspired by the same traditions that began here more than 200 years ago. With nearly 100 shops and galleries scattered throughout the area, you will find everything from traditional tableware to folk and collectible art pieces and historical reproductions. S HeartofNorthCarolina.com • 800.626.2672 The building of the old Plank Road, and later the emerging railroad system, gave potters access to broad markets outside of their normal reach and helped to establish Seagrove’s reputation as a pottery town. In the early 20th century Raleigh couple Jacques and Juliana Busbee, who appreciated the local craftsmanship, used their marketing skills to promote Seagrove to an even wider market and collectors began to embrace the craft. By the late 1920s, Seagrove pottery was well-known from the galleries of New York to the garden shops of Florida. EAGROVE The first immigrant potters, mostly English and German, arrived in the late 18th century from Pennsylvania and Virginia. They probably settled first in the areas closest to the Great Wagon Road, which ran from Pennsylvania to Georgia, later migrating to Seagrove. 16 Asheboro Outside Seagrove Detail 12 Chrisc 13 Cross 14 Crystal Folk Ar 9 Rd.
