The roadside stories worth pulling over for.
Around 1900, Croatan (later Lumbee) families left Robeson County, North Carolina, following turpentine work to Adabelle, building a church, school, and cemetery while guarding their Indian identity through the Jim Crow era before most returned north by 1920.
