    MHA Docent ZOOM Program
    Tuesday April 6, 2021 11:00 AM
    The Historic Mapping Congress: Mapping the Roads of Old Mecklenburg
    Hugh Dussek will discuss the efforts by local historians to investigate the history and location of the roads of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, during the colonial and revolutionary eras. The presentation examines the Great Wagon Road, the original road pattern of the county, the crossing at Trade and Tryon, the fords across the Catawba River, and the use of the roads during the Revolutionary War.

    The MHA Docents will receive an email with the Zoom invitation prior to the event. The general public is also invited to join us. Please send an email request to Valerie Jones, v.v.jones448@gmail.com, no later than the Saturday before the program. Login instructions will be sent at the appropriate time. We look forward to seeing you!
