Stuart. It features a relief of the general with "Our Heroes" and two flags of the Confederacy with a soldier on top. The soldier is leaning on his rifle. The marker reads, "This place, first known as Taylorsville for George Taylor, early settler, was established in 1792 after the formation of Patrick County. In 1849 it contained about fifty dwellings. The name was changed to Stuart for General J. E. B. Stuart, C.S.A., who was born in the county. The courthouse was built in 1852 and remodeled in 1928." A time capsule is buried to be opened in 2091. If you're here on Yelp in 2091, perhaps you can provide an update? There is street parking. I know that Confederate memorials are being removed or moved out of site all over. Somehow, I think this one will be here for a while since the town is literally named after the guy. Though if the name can be changed once, it can be changed again.

Rumor is on the right day and right time you can come watch some granite blasting here and it's a unique experience. On our trip we didn't really find a designated observation deck and it was rainy so not much happening. Overall it was still Interesting and unique to see so much open space with all granite. Reminded me of some of the planet surfaces you see from mass photos of other planets or a Star Wars themed set.

Final resting place of the most famous conjoined twins, this cemetery in Mount Airy is adjacent to…read moreUS-74. The twins were born in 1811 and traveled the world. They were joined by a bridge of cartilage. Why are they here? Well, during a trip to North Carolina, they simply fell in love with the state (Who wouldn't?) and in 1843, married Adelaide and Sarah Anne Yates, sisters native to the area. The brothers ran the plantation and lived together until tensions between Adelaide and Sara Anne forced them to set up separate households in the town of White Plains. Between their two marriages, the brothers produced a staggering 21 children. They passed in 1874 and their wives were buried next to them in their final plot. Some 1500 descendants of the twins still reside in the area. The grace is easy to find behind the church. There is parking in the church parking lot. And if you're staying at the neighboring RV park, there is an unmarked path to the cemetery. [Review 14983 overall, 485 of 2021, number 2849 in North Carolina.]
