Join us in celebrating the history and heritage of the Yadkin Valley and in completing a memorial to the men and women who have served in our military since before the Revolutionary War.

Hosted by the Jonesville Historical Society, the events scheduled the first weekend in May offer a glimpse into the history and heritage of one of the oldest towns in the Yadkin Valley. Nestled between the Brushy Mountains and the Blue Ridge foothills, Jonesville was an early crossroad of wilderness trails and trading routes followed by early explorers, colonists, trappers and hunters. Called Allen's Settlement in the 1700s, patriots marched through the town, en route to Kings Mountain to defeat the British. Later, Revolutionary troops were garrisoned along our bluffs to watch for Red Coats encroaching up the Yadkin River.

In honor of those early troops and all from the Tri-Counties who have since served, our Veterans Memorial in historic Mineral Springs Park will soon contain over 3000 names of these men and women.

Proceeds will benefit completion of THE VETERANS MEMORIAL in Mineral Springs Park.
