It’s a quaint brick house set off from the
road by a wrought iron gate and a line of
crepe myrtles that bloom each summer. At
194 years old, it offers an authentic depiction
of life in the antebellum South. Today, it’s
known as the Foscue Plantation, a Jones County
historical landmark. When Plant Manager
Greg Meadows called it home, it was anything
but historic.
“It was just an old house,” he says with a
laugh as he passes the plantation while driving
north on North Carolina’s Highway 17. “Homes
didn’t have closets when it was built, so each
bedroom had a bureau. I remember listening to
the sound of wire hangers clanging together
when the wind came through. It was the type
of place where a glass of water would freeze on
the bedside table during cold nights.”
Just as the humble home from whence he
came today enjoys a second life as an historic
landmark, so, too, is Meadows hoping for a
new beginning – not as a fisherman, like so
