Good news! On Monday evening, the Mitchell County Historic Courthouse Board of Directors voted to allow the Colonel John B. Palmer Camp 1946, Sons of Confederate Veterans, to place a Confederate monument on the grounds of the Historic Mitchell County Courthouse in downtown Bakersville. The Commission recently finished restoring the courthouse to house the offices of the Mitchell County Historical Society, and to provide a community meeting place. The Colonel John B. Palmer Camp of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans has already raised the $5,000 needed for the monument, and we are already planning the dedication ceremony for next May. This is the second Confederate monument that Camp 1946 has erected. The first, located on the grounds of the Yancey County Court House in Burnsville, was dedicated last year.
A special thank you to everyone who made this dream happen.
