Tour NC With Me – Jackson Hamlet
Submitted by momoaizo on Sun, 10/22/2006 - 2:29am.At the turn of the century, when Tufts first developed Pinehurst into a health resort, a cry went out throughout the south to all “Negroes” - “there is work here”. They came to work, they came for land, and they came to live.
In the 111 years since Pinehurst was first urbanized, the African-American community of Jackson Hamlet has not been able to keep pace with its neighbor. Pinehurst with its lush, green golf courses draws thousands of visitors a year. They stay in the expensive rooms of the Carolina Hotel and the Holly Inn,, or play one of eight golf courses. Many residents of Jackson Hamlet or their ancestors have worked in Pinehurst. Some of them helped build it.
