Deep River State Trail, Franklinville, N.C.

 

The Andrew Hunter Bridge marks the beginning of the Faith Rock Trail from Andrew Hunter Dr.


The marker commemorates Andrew Hunter's Revolutionary War-era ride down Faith Rock in Franklinville to escape famed Tory, David Fanning.

We ate at Franklinville Diner which appears to be the only restaurant in town, and according to their menu, the best food in town.
