- Archaeology Professor Gives Us A Dig Site (Hoyle Homestead, North Carolina)
We are joined by Marty Gimson who shows us around the Hoyle Historic Homestead site. On site are some historic structures as well as the remains of others. In the center of the property is an active archaeological site where UNC students and volunteers work to uncover the full story buried in the land.
Hometown Chronicles USA tours the country visiting small towns, historic sites, and other places of interest in an effort to learn more about our country and the people who live here. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our page to join us on our next adventure!

Pieter Heyl is my 7 times great grandfather via my great grandmother Ella Eugenia Lofton Smith (AKA Grandma Smith)
I haven't been to the reunion at the homestead in many years. Please keep us "descendants" informed!
This old homeplace is so interesting. Looking forward to more videos of it. Subscribed so I don't miss any of your interesting videos which are well done.
So love to hear this! We’ve got one more episode at the property coming next week, then we’ve got a lot of other great places to see! Maybe we’ll be back one day soon though!
Thank you so much for making this video. I descend from Andrew's brother Jacob. Until now I did not know this house still existed. There are four lines of my ancestors that come from this area of Lincoln and Gaston Counties, NC. If you ever come across more history on Jenkins ( They were Welsch and very prominent in both counties and went to great lengths to hide the illegitimate birth of my 3rd great grandfather, lol they didn't know DNA would blow the lid off that secret), Freshour and Hoyle (both families from Germany) and Swofford (origin still TBD) I would be very interested in learning more. This home is now on my list of future places to visit when my husband retires in 5 years and we start traveling. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing that story! It's been really incredible hearing how other connect with the places we visit.
Take a look at their website and Facebook page to keep up on their event schedule. They are not open to the public on a daily schedule: hoylehomestead.org.
DNA sure has made the world seem so much smaller in some ways. It's made tracing our lineage a completely different game and time and time again we speak to people who are learning new things about their families due to DNA, local genealogical organizations, and even just the internet. Hopefully we can continue to build a community of people who are interested in these share stories!
