Located near the Malcolm Blue Farm in Aberdeen, NC. This micro can be found in some pretty easy terrain but since it is not paved wheel chairs may have a difficult time especially if it is wet. Otherwise should be a fairly easy find. Take some time and visit the Farm and enjoy a little bit of good ol' American History.
The Malcolm McMillan Blue home was built over 170 years ago when the Sandhills was known as "The Pine Barrens" because it consisted of sandy hills covered with giant virgin pines, barren of undergrowth, and of settlers struggling to carve a home in the wilderness. It is one of the few remaining examples of 19th century Scottish homes which dotted the area. The 1825 farmhouse along with the grist mill, stable, corn crib, tobacco barn, water tower and windmill complete the farmstead.
Malcolm was married in 1833 to Isabella Patterson whose grandfather received a King's grant for land in what is now Aberdeen in 1768. She died within a year and he later married Flora Ray. They raised seven children on the farmstead.
Malcolm Blue became very prosperous in the Naval Stores industry. He owned more than 8,000 acres including the present day Pinehurst Race Track and the western boundary of Fort Bragg. He tapped the pine trees for rosin which was refined into tar, pitch and turpentine. He also was active in the community and served as an Elder in the Bethesda Church for 40 years and Clerk of Sessions for 16 years, donating the land where the current "old" church now stands. The area surrounding Old Bethesda Church and the Malcolm Blue house became known as Blue's Crossing.
Over 2,000 children visit the farm during school children's day each year to listen to the storytelling and to see puppet shows and craft demonstrations.
