The North Carolina Visitor Center
Welcome to the North Carolina Visitor Center
From the mountains to the coast and all points in between
To receive our free North Carolina Visitor Center Newsletter by email each month, please email us at
newsletter@ncvisitorcenter.com
At the NC Visitor Center, we are always on the lookout for ways to promote independent businesses and to support local farmers. We are very pleased to be able to do both in introducing P.R. Moore’s Produce to our readers.
P.R. Moore’s Produce, located at 2427 W Main Hwy, Biscoe, NC 27209, is one of the best places in North Carolina to buy quality produce. They also carry jams, jellies, relishes, chow chows, cured pork, hoop cheese, grits, peanuts, old fashioned candies, live ornamental plants, garden ornaments and antiques. P.R. Moore’s is part produce stand, part old country store, part nursery and part… well just a little bit of everything good. They also carry hard to find sodas in the bottle, like Blenheim Ginger Ale from Dillon County, SC. (http://blenheimshrine.com/) Be sure to try the fried pies, homemade, using a 100 year old recipe.
What really sets P.R. Moore’s Produce apart from grocery stores is two fold. The first, and most obvious, are the prices. You’ll save money shopping at P.R. Moore’s. However, that is not the most important reason. The main reason to visit P.R. Moore’s is the selection and quality of the produce. Depending on the season, you’ll find dozens of varieties of peas and beans, corn, all sorts of both hot and sweet peppers, greens, cucumbers in all sizes, squash, apples, peaches, tomatoes, etc., etc. P.R. Moore’s takes the time to do things that commercial chains cannot or will not do. For instance, they don’t receive shipment after shipment of unripe peaches and sell them to the public. When peaches are in season, they go out to the orchards and hand-pick only the best peaches at the perfect stage of ripeness.

CONFEDERATE CEMETERY
Built in 1858, Kittrell Springs Hotel could accommodate 500 guests. Located at a rail junction, the resort received an impressive amount of visitors until 1861. As sectional tensions tore the country apart, the hotel closed. In the spring of 1864, however, Confederate officials converted the building into a hospital for troops injured in the campaigns around Richmond and Petersburg.
General Hospital Number One, as the facility became known, could house 300 injured or sick soldiers. Between June 1864 and April 1865, over 2,100 men were cared for at the post. Despite the nearby battles in Virginia and eastern North Carolina, many more men suffered from disease than combat injuries. Moreover, soldiers admitted with gunshot wounds accounted for only 7% compared to 28% from typhoid, 20% from pneumonia, and 7% from diarrhea. At least 31% of the typhoid victims and 36% of the pneumonia victims died.
All together, 68 men are known to have died at the hospital; however, the causes of death are only known for 54 of them. Among the dead were 16 members of the North Carolina Junior Reserves, regiments formed from young men between the ages of 17-18 years old. Although the majority of the dead were North Carolinians, several Virginians, South Carolinians, and Georgians are among the 52 men buried in the cemetery.
The cemetery was established during the war for those men whose bodies could not be returned home. The Reverend Matthias Murray Marshall oversaw the burials and often recorded the last moments of each man’s life. Marshall’s notes provide a glimpse into the lives of the men buried at Kittrell. He recorded that William Brown, 5th Virginia Cavalry, upon his deathbed stated, “I have not a relation in the world.” For J. G. Edwards, 5th North Carolina Cavalry, Marshall noted, “Left a wife and a child. Baptized in infancy, though I think a good man and prepared to die – said ‘Death has no sorrows for me.’”
At the war’s conclusion, the hotel once again became a hotel holding such distinguished visitors as President Andrew Johnson. The building burned in 1885. For years the cemetery lay neglected, but in 1954 the Kittrell Community Club included its restoration as part of a “Finer Carolina” project. Fifty large cedar trees surrounded the cemetery until 1936 when locals cut down several trees for firewood during an unusually severe winter. The headstones of the 52 interred Confederates are military regulation, with two rows facing west, and two facing east. At the center is a white marble urn for flowers.
