Did you know that that portions of the earthworks built to fortify the city of Raleigh during the Civil War still exist?
Did you know you can find these earthworks remnants at places like New Bern Ave, Peace and West Streets, and other locations throughout the city? Did you know that the earthworks have their own blog.
Not just a post, but an entire blog!
