Bill Leslie's Carolina Conversations

"People are always asking me where to take vacation. What’s a cool place? What’s the most scenic drive?" WRAL News Anchor Bill Leslie attempts to answer those questions and others in his Carolina Conversations blog.

Round Three - NC Trivia

The Carolina Conversations odyssey across the Tar Heel landscape is almost half complete. We have nearly reached the midway point in our fascinating journey. Thank you for making the trip with us.

Here are the 46 counties we have visited so far in our Tar Heel Trivia blitz: Alamance, Ashe, Avery, Beaufort, Bladen, Burke, Carteret, Chatham, Chowan, Cumberland, Dare, Davidson, Duplin, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Franklin, Greene, Guilford, Harnett, Hoke, Hyde, Johnston, Lee, Lincoln, Martin, McDowell, Mecklenburg, Mitchell, Nash, New Hanover, Onslow, Orange, Pamlico, Perquimans, Pitt, Randolph, Robeson, Sampson, Surry, Transylvania, Tyrrell, Wake, Watauga, Wilson, Wilkes, and Yancey.

We still have more than 50 counties to go. I will get us started with a new question. After it is answered correctly some other blogger should post another question that will steer us into the county jurisdictions we have yet to explore.

Where was the first documented discovery of gold made in America?

Vet's museum is in Broadway, right? Is that in Lee or Harnett Co? I think it's Lee.

WHERE IS THE N.C. VETERANS MEMORIAL LOCATED? WHAT TOWN AND COUNTY>

I thought it was Dahlonega ga... but wait.. that was GA.

The Kinston Indians are located in Lenoir County!

What county is home to the Kinston Indians?

carl sandburg home national historic site is in Henderson county.

That mint is in Rutherford county I believe

This county is where Bechtler Mint was established in 1831. From 1831 to the 1840s over $2 million in gold coins were minted there. (gotta make sure my home county is represented)

My question: In what county is the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site?

Tryon Palace and the Birthplace of Pepsi are both in New Bern, Craven County (where I call home)
