Join former Site Manager of Reed Gold Mine State Historic Site, Mr. John Dysart, for an engaging evening exploring how gold shaped Cabarrus County — and how North Carolina's gold rush transformed the state long before California ever struck it rich.

In this presentation, Mr. Dysart will uncover:
- The origins and impact of North Carolina's first gold discoveries
- How Reed Gold Mine became a catalyst for regional growth
- The surprising scale of gold mining activity across Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties
- Why North Carolina's gold story is often overlooked in national narratives

Long before 1848, this region was at the center of America's first gold rush, setting in motion migration patterns and economic shifts that would ripple far beyond our county lines.

Whether you're a longtime history enthusiast or simply curious about the forces that shaped our community, this lecture offers a fresh perspective on a story that began right here in Cabarrus County.
