Visit the Historical Markers Database.

This website is an illustrated searchable online catalog of historical information viewed through the filter of roadside and other permanent outdoor markers, monuments, and plaques. It contains photographs, inscription transcriptions, marker locations, maps, additional information and commentary, and links to more information. Anyone can add new markers to the database and update existing marker pages with new photographs, links, information and commentary. Markers in this database have links to Google maps pinpointing their location. How cool is this! Does your GPS device support GPX files? You can download the locations of historical markers into your GPS unit with these files. Push the right buttons and your GPS will tell you when a marker is near; or tell you how to get to them. Some units will also display the text of the marker.

If you think 4-H is just about cows and sheep and cooking, think again.


4-H is a youth organization committed to building outstanding citizen leaders with marketable skills to succeed in today's global society.

Through the efforts of a dedicated statewide network, 4-H offers programs, trips, and scholarships for members, leaders, and families. There are more than 10,000 established 4-H programs across North Carolina. All youth between the ages of 5 and 19 are invited to join! In 4-H you can go to camp, start a business, ride in a bike rodeo, take part in an international exchange, raise an animal, create a blog, give a presentation, participate in a community service project, develop your resume, practice interview skills, learn about healthy eating habits, build lifelong friendships. Best of all, membership is FREE! 4-H costs nothing to join, and you are not required to purchase a uniform.

4-H is the largest youth organization in the United States with over 7 million participants. 4-H is best identified by its green four-leaf clover with an H on each leaf. The four H's on the emblem stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. 4-H is the only youth organization based at land-grant universities and the first experience many youth have with higher education.

Volunteers are the keys to success in the North Carolina 4-H program. Whether you're interested in becoming a leader, or just have a few hours to invest, we've got challenging and fun jobs who want to make a difference. Each County Extension Agent manages the process locally to help volunteers find the role that fits best their interests and schedules.
