31 <br />Final Report ♦ Rogers Road Small Area Plan Task Force <br />Consensus Recommendations <br />Cultural Heritage Plan <br />It can never be too often to remark on the fact that the <br />Rogers Road community is unique and significant. The <br />Rogers Road area was one of first local areas with <br />significant land and home ownership by African - <br />Americans in the early post -Civil War period and into the <br />20th Century. It is emblematic of a unique historical <br />story of African - Americans in Chapel Hill. <br />• As such, it should be engaged in a process of creating a <br />cultural heritage preservation plan. <br />• The Small Area Plan should include a formal project to <br />write the history of the region. The school system <br />would be a good partner as the history can become a <br />part of a curriculum on the history of the Town. <br />• The most significant�physical artifacts which carry this <br />history are the 1700's house, adjacent graveyard, and <br />the log cabin. <br />Rogers Road Small Area Plan Recommendations <br />
