Gold History of NC
Until gold was discovered in California, North Carolina was the leading gold producing region in the United States. Come visit the NC site where the rush to find this elusive element began.
Produced by UNC-TV and Our State Magazine, with generous funding from BB&T. For further info, visit www.unctv.org/ourstate.
