Bethesda and Surroundings Communities by Rick Warwick presents a history told with personal interviews by those who grew up in the southern part of Williamson County. Period photographs are included to enrich the narratives of those telling their life stories. Histories of schools, churches, country stores, physicians, fraternal organizations, and local postmasters supplement the interviews in more detail. The early families settled largely on the North Carolina land grant of 4,800 acres belonging to Dr. Joseph Blythe, a Revolutionary War veteran. A section entitled Faces of the Past offers an insight into the physical appearances of those who once called this area home. Join Rick to explore our Bethesda community via his new book on October 10 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the library meeting room. Reserve your seat now here.
