11 Cedar Grove Property Owner October 11, 1996 Page Two In May of 1995 the Orange County Historic Preservation Commission held a series of community meetings to gather public comment on the County's Historic Preservation Plan, which is an element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. (The meeting for northern Orange was held at Walnut Grove United Methodist Church.) Citizens attending these meetings were asked to identify places they felt were the most historically significant in the county. The Cedar Grove crossroads area was consistently cited as one of the County's most treasured historic resources because of its rural character and sense of place. The Historic Preservation Commission has scheduled its October meeting for Thursday, October 24 at 7:00 PM at the Cedar Grove United Methodist Church. Please join us for a presentation and discussion of how Cedar Grove could be recognized nationally as a unique,historic community. If you agree that placing Cedar Grove on the National Register of Historic Places would be worthwhile,the Historic Preservation Commission would like to begin the nomination process. Enclosed is additional information about the historical significance of Cedar Grove, excerpted from Ms. Sexton's report. Also enclosed is a series of"National Register Fact Sheets" from the State Historic Preservation Office of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History, and a brochure about the National Register from the National Park Service. We look forward to meeting with you on October 24. In the meantime, if you have additional questions,please feel free to call our staff person,Don Belk, at the Orange County Planning Department, 732-8181,extension 2594.
