Civil War Trail Markers Dedicated
Local citizens and county officials gathered at the Historic Currituck County Courthouse prior to Monday’s Board meeting to dedicate a series of historical markers commemorating Currituck County’s role in the Civil War.

Meekins related that Currituck was an early target for the Union forces, and a continuing target for Confederate forces.
