FUNDS FOR HISTORICAL PRESERVATION RETURNED TO THE COUNTY'S GENERAL FUND: Mr. Louis Brown, who
was very instrumental in assisting the County with its Bicentennial Project of the restoration of
Ft. Dobbs, came before the board to request that a certain sum of money be returned to the County.
The amount is $2,718.70 in a checking account and $2,794.87 in a savings account. Interest will
accrue to the savings account which will mature on January 23, 1987. At this time it was estimated
by a bank official that the amount would be approximately $3,300, including the accrued interest.
These funds were originally appropriated for the Historical Preservations Society for the
Bicentennial Project of Restoration of Ft. Dobbs. Following completion of that project, Mr. Brown
came to the board and asked if the funds could be used for an archeological project. The board gave
permission for this several years ago; however, the project never materialized. For this reason Mr.
Brown requested that the funds be returned to the County.
Mr. Brown also mentioned that he hoped sometime the County would have a Farm Museum for Iredell
County since the County has been an agricultural county for a long time. Commissioner Murdock said
she thought it would be a great benefit to preserve some of the old farm equipment.
