Centre Presbyterian Church & Cemetery

This church is no longer in Mecklenburg Co. and has been included because the members first met two miles north of Davidson College in the Osbornes Meeting House and organized in 1765. The name was chosen because of its relation to other settlements. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1775 and Centre was rebuilt in its present location.

Stone Cutters

The most famous early stone cutters in Mecklenburg County were the Bighams, who lived in the Steele Creek area. Their stones survive today not just in Mecklenburg but elsewhere in North and South Carolina. Their intricate designs and personal touches, such as coats of arms, made their work recognizable. They also trained others in their techniques so their traditions continued.
