Bridging Rails-to-Trails--A Documentary on the ATT

After several years of preparation, Carol Thomson has now posted her documentary on the history of the American Tobacco Trail. NCRT provided support to her early efforts on this project. A formal presentation of the documentary is scheduled for 7-8pm on March 24th, at the Durham  Arts Council theater. The recent release includes a historical slideshow and a video of tobacco production in Durham and videos of the Apex Street bridge removal, the role of equestrian efforts in western Wake County and a short clip on Norfolk Southern use of the corridor, Jordan Lake's construction and  the New Hope Valley Railroad, showing how all relate to the trail's history and development. { A video on the newly completed Chatham section was aded in late March }.
