9. Johnston County -- Smithfield -- 4/8/06
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithfield%2C_North_Carolina
It seems that each time I've gone out on a Courthouse Chasing trip, it rains. And rain it did in Smithfield. But we're troopers, and so we got out and wandered around in the rain.
When I think of Smithfield, I think of Selma. They just go together. Selma is the town just up the road, and there's a big outlet mall around there. And the students share a high school..."Triple S"...Smithfield-Selma School. I really would like to know if there's any beef between the two towns. I don't know too many folks from Johnston County. I have relatives up on my Dad's side from there, but besides being the new bedroom for Raleigh, I have a lot to learn! If you're from Smithfield/Selma, let me know why I'd rather live in your town!
The Courthouse is part of the NC Civil War Trail and General Sherman occupied it and announced Lee's surrender here.
