I am excited to share this event with you. I have been researching and writing about Shiloh Community for several years now. A couple of years ago, a suggestion was made to turn all the history into a presentation. It has finally come to fruition and this has been a pet project for I and my fellow WCGS members - Saundra Cropps and Lynne Deese.

We hope you will join us so you can learn exactly what a brush arbor is, who held the title of "Father of Scientific Farming," and just what an enduring and special community Shiloh really is.

The History of the Shiloh Community

We will learn about the history of the community, of the church, of Jesse Harris, a Revolutionary war patriot who is connected to those buried in the cemetery, and about the Shiloh Trail at the Town of Morrisville Greenway. The program will close with a tour of the cemetery and Shiloh Trail of the Morrisville Greenway.
This program will be presented in partnership with the Wake County Genealogical Society, the Wake County Historical Society and Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking.
