“Rockefellers in North Carolina: Overhills Estate and the Development of Fort Bragg”
Located in the Sandhills region of North Carolina, Overhills was a private estate and nature preserve owned by Percy Avery Rockefeller (1878-1934) and his descendants. The estate included a Donald Ross-designed golf course, polo field, stables, kennels, and extensive bridle trails, as well as several Rockefeller homes, including Croaton (1929) and Birdsong (1963). In 1997 much of Overhills Estate was acquired by Fort Bragg (now Fort Liberty) for 29.4 million dollars. Dr. Carnes-McNaughton will provide insight into the complex history and archaeology of this fascinating and little-known site.
