GROUNDBREAKING THIS SPRING!
Groundbreaking for the second phase of Gateway Gardens will take place this spring;
including the construction of an approximately 5,000 square foot Visitor Center. The building
will ultimately include restrooms, vending area, office space, reception lobby, multi-purpose
room, catering kitchen, storage, mechanical and electrical support, two large outdoor covered
areas extending from the building, an outdoor patio, and sidewalk connections to existing
walkways.

Funding for the Visitor Center is being provided through voter approved City bond funds.
Construction is expected to take 12-14 months, but the remainder of the garden will continue
to remain open to the public.
Visitors will also notice new terraces, stone seat walls, and walkways at the Heritage Garden

Greensboro's Arbor Day Celebration will take
place on Friday, March 16th at 3:00pm at David
Caldwell Historic Park. We're proud to announce
that 2012 marks our city's 21st consecutive year of
being recognized as a Tree City USA by the
National Arbor Day Foundation. Much of the
credit for this national certification is due to the
partnership between the City of Greensboro and
Greensboro Beautiful, Inc. and our continued
efforts to make tree planting and tree preservation a
high priority in our community. This year's
ceremonial tree will be a Pecan tree, which is part of
an effort to plant fruit and nut trees at the David &
Rachel Caldwell Historical Center off Cornwallis
Drive. It will also offer an opportunity to revisit
(more than ten years later) the site of Greensboro
Beautiful's first “reforestation” and community tree
planting effort, which took place at the corner of
Holden and Cornwallis in 2001 following a
devastating wind storm in 2000.
Join us to celebrate Arbor Day in Greensboro!

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
One sign of Spring that comes around annually is Arbor Day,
which this year will be observed on Friday, March 16.
Greensboro Beautiful over the years has recognized this date to
underscore the importance of trees to our society, and to help
everyone understand and appreciate the immense contribution
trees make to earth's air and water quality and to the quality of
life we enjoy. Several Arbor Days have focused on a ceremonial
tree planting at a place of historic or community significance: a
white oak on the Downtown Greenway and a Northern Red
Oak at Blandwood. This year's celebration will occur at David
Caldwell Historic Park beginning at 3:00 pm. Please join us
for this celebration! Take the opportunity to see the ten year
growth of trees in the reforested area and to see some of the
artifacts displayed in the David and Rachel Caldwell Historical
Center.
We often forget or, probably, we never consider that
historical sites that are protected today are there because
someone or a small group of people worked very hard to
persuade local governments to establish this protection.
Historically significant locations, whether battlefields or home
sites or schools, are protected from development because a few
people thought it was important to preserve them. Memories
of what happened at these places vanish quickly as generations
pass. Significant parts of our national, state or local history
have already been lost to bulldozers and buildings. Unless
historic sites are preserved, marked, described, where possible
in the words of residents or participants related to these places
or events, and unless these materials are made available to
students and citizens today, we will continue to lose our
heritage. A short recounting of the last fifty years reminds us of
how Caldwell Historic Park came into being, some of the
difficulties encountered along the way, and what dedication
and perseverance is needed to achieve a goal.
In the mid 1950's, five men led by James MacLamroc and
Greensboro Mayor Fielding Fry initiated the effort to preserve
acreage and establish a David Caldwell home site memorial.
They enlisted the North Carolina Society for the Preservation
of Antiquities. Edward Benjamin who owned a parcel within
the area indicated he would donate the property if it could be
established that the land had actually been Caldwell's. This led
to the first of several archeological studies in 1958. Mr.
Benjamin was persuaded by the findings and donated the land
to the Society for Preservation of Antiquities. More
archeological work was done in 1960.
In 1971 the Caldwell property was put in trust with the City
of Greensboro. From among members of the Col. Arthur
Forbis Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution, the
David Caldwell Log College Corporation was formed,
chartered by the State, and became operative in January of
1975. Also in January of 1975, the Greensboro City Council
agreed to help the David Caldwell Log College Corporation
preserve about 20 acres of land along Hobbs Road for a historic
park. The City would pay half of the $180,000 needed for land
and interest costs on about 8.5 acres, negotiate with First
Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church Diocese for
another 2.5 acres which, when combined with flood plain land,
would protect almost 20 acres.
In June, 1976, the David Caldwell Log College Corporation
deeded the Caldwell property to the City of Greensboro, and in
September of 1976, the
dedication of the David Caldwell
Memorial Park occurred. Fund
raising continued and a goal of
$15,000 was set. These monies
were dedicated to an intensive
historical and archeological
research on David Caldwell, the
man himself and his Log College.
The General Assembly would
provide a matching grant, and the
research would be supervised by
the North Carolina Division of
Archives and History. One
consequence was the research of Mark F. Miller, a doctoral
student in history at UNC. Miller completed a major study on
David Caldwell for the David Caldwell Log College
Corporation in 1978. His research remains a major source of
information about Caldwell's life. Intense interest in this
project continued among local historians who wanted to
develop more visible ways to remember David Caldwell.
During the same year, the Bicentennial Garden, 7-1/2 acres
along Hobbs Road, was developed and dedicated to the City,
October 21, 1976. A time capsule was buried to be opened in
2076. This public garden lay between the First Lutheran
Church and Gold Crown properties to the south and the
Caldwell property to the north. Over the next years the
Bicentennial Garden received gifts of sculpture, and new
plantings and fixtures were added.
Work on Caldwell Historic Park seemed to have stopped
while the Bicentennial Garden flourished and the Greensboro
Arboretum and Bog Garden at Benjamin Park came into
being. But the interest of some citizens in David Caldwell and
the development of this site was ongoing. As part of the
Greensboro Beautiful’s Capital Campaign to renovate
Bicentennial Garden, Gary Brown discovered that a
Greensboro businessman by the name of Walter Sills had a
great interest in Caldwell and his life. In 2000, Walter Sill's
estate gave $300,000 for research and development of this site.
Thanks to the dedication of Brown and others, these funds
meant that additional archeological work was undertaken,
new trails developed, parking expanded, and, most
importantly, the David and Rachel Caldwell Historical Center
was built.
And so we are back to Arbor Day, March 16, 2012. I think
there are lessons in this bit of history. David Caldwell first
acquired property in what is now Guilford County in the mid1760's. A major portion of this land remained in the ownership
of Caldwell family members until 1887. By the middle of the
twentieth century only the small core remained that we are
privileged to enjoy today. It took twenty-one years, 1955 to
l976, for this property to gain public ownership. Thirty-six
years later we are still learning about this man and the
contributions he made to our area, the state and the nation.
Along the way, hundreds of people have helped make this
happen, but without patience, tenacity, and the few who
initiated this idea, this part of our heritage would have been
lost.

community.
Please join in Greensboro Beautiful's efforts to make and
keep our community an appealing and viable place to live and

GIFT TREE PROGRAM
Remember family, honor friends and celebrate special
occasions with the lasting gift of a tree. The program enables
Greensboro Beautiful to plant trees where needed in
neighborhood parks, along city streets and in Greensboro's
public gardens.
Here’s how it works:
Purchase a gift tree as a memorial or an honorarium
o
Tell us who to notify and a special note will be sent to them
o
We'll let you and the recipient know when the tree has been
o
planted (all trees are planted in January and February of each
year)
