NC Hidden History

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2021

I manage a Hidden History segment for WRAL News, which allows me to explore lost history across North Carolina -- secret tunnels, forgotten schools, underground taverns and more. We walk past history every day and often don't even know it, and I love uncovering hidden history for everyone.
