Ground Breaking Ceremony for New Museum in Fayetteville, N.C.


From the April 18, 2018, Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer  "Ground broken for $65 million Civil War history center in Fayetteville."

The North Carolina Civil War and Reconstruction History Center next to the remnants of the old Fayetteville Arsenal (destroyed by Sherman) is now underway with ground breaking.  It on Arsenal Avenue on Haymount Hill.

So far, $27 million has been raised from governmental bodies and private donations.

The first phase now under way consists of the rehabilitation of three historic buildings on the site.  One will be a support center, one for digital education and the third for studying the period.

It is hoped that this first phase will be completed in twelve months.
