Field Trip

Little Meadow Creek
Midland, NC



     Trinity visited Reed Gold Mine Friday, this year's first field trip. Reed Gold Mine is the site of the first documented gold find in the United States. Students panned for gold, toured the mine and watched as stone was crushed in the antique Stamp Mill.
