On Thursday, June 5th, 2008, I saw a PBS program called "Our State" on www.unctv.com. It is a weekly program from NC PBS that I can pick up in my Virginia area. I think it may have been a re-run.
One of 3 segments within the half-hour program featured a little mountain town in NC named Saluda (Henderson Co.):
M. A. Pace Store, circa 1910: This building is the most intact structure, both inside and out, in the historic district. The shelving and most of the furnishings are original. The M. A. Pace business has been in this location and operated by the same family since the building’s construction. The second floor has been variously a doctor’s office, a meeting hall for the Woodmen of the World, a beauty parlor, and later a storage area. (The program took you o a brief tour of this general store, operated today by a descendant--Robert Pace.) It was my impression that the town had originally had another name.
Episode 402
Thursday, June 5, at 8 PM
Hope Plantation—explore Bertie County's finest historic home.
An Artist's Reflections—visit Boone artist Noyes Capehart, a writer, teacher and painter who creates visual short stories embodying all of his experiences.
Saluda—D.G. Martin takes a tour of this mountain town, settled in 1878.
Tar Heel Towns: Saluda
The little mountain town of Saluda grew up with the railroad, when Southern Railway established a crew base there at the crest of the steepest rail grade in the country. D.G. Martin takes us on a tour to meet Bob Pace, a life-long resident, and relative newcomers Kathy Thompson, and Larry and Debra Jackson, who have adopted this village where in many ways life has seemed to stand still.
If I were a descendant of M. A. Pace, I think I would try to get a copy of the Our State magazine and also perhaps a tape of the PBS program. I think the town of Saluda has a web site with a walking tour and part of this e-mail is stolen from that web site.
