Troy North Carolina Day Trip - Episode #4. I ride my motorcycle to Pisgah Covered Bridge. I stretch my legs and walk around the path. Then, I visit Troy North Carolina. I stop at Uwharrie Mercantile and visit with the owner, Dana Dawson.
My last stop is to find out more about the first gold rush in U.S. history. I pull off in the Uwharrie National Forest and scout around for abandoned gold mines.
This is another chapter in Our North Carolina story.

Great history lesson. Grew up there and enjoyed camping and canoeing in the Uwharries as a kid.

I know you have been right behind my house. Because that waterfall at the beginning of your video is in rockingham County on Deshazo Mill road and the state built a walking trail over my old 4wheeler trail. But it is a very beautiful place.

This is amazing. I never hear anything about MC, NC. I'm from literally outside Troy. It was the hub of the area I grew up in which was 15 minutes from Troy. I went to school there. That accent though. My family. Lol in this video I've been everywhere he was.

Hi, I live in Troy, N.C. I have lived here for 35 years . I married a local guy from here. There are so many things that you did not include on your video of Troy and Montgomery County, N.C. You take the Blair House, the Dr. John Montgomery house at Pee Dee area of the county and the first Capel Mill, Capel Mills and our Capel Mill Outlet is in Troy. The two people that you want to talk about the history of Montgomery County is Ms. Rosemary Huntley at Troy Flower Shop on Byrd St. And Mr. Willke of Troy. They are long time Montgomery County Historical Society that meets the second Wednesday of the month except July and January I believe. We have Troy Fest. The last Friday and Saturday in June. We have a demolishson Derby and Fireworks on Friday Evening and a Beautiful Forth of July Parade and then the street Fest is opened. A lot of fun and food to try out. Thanks For Hearing Me Out, Judi Sheppard Shaw Troy, N.C

@@RealBradMiller Dear Mr. Miller, That is not Troy Flower Shop. It is on Byrd St. In Troy. Rosemary Huntley owns Troy Flower Shop. Ask someone in Troy were Troy Flower Shop is at on Byrd St. Most can tell you were Byrd St is at. Sincerely Yours, Judi Shaw
