Mill Village Museum closes temporarily, seeks new home

EDENTON — The only museum dedicated to the history of Edenton’s working class has closed — but may reopen if organizers can find a new location for it. The Mill Village Museum, which documents the lives of Edenton’s first factory workers, closed Oct. 10. The museum, housed in the former Edenton Cotton Mill building, closed after the owners of the building sent a letter saying they needed to reclaim the space, said Beth Taylor, who is working to relocate the museum. Taylor said the owners announced their decision by mail. There were no negotiations to keep the museum at its current location. Taylor said the closure was not because the Mill Village Museum Association was facing financial difficulties. The museums collection of photographs, exhibits and historical artifacts has been placed in storage. “The museum items are stored in a very safe storage building,” Taylor said in response to questions from the Chowan Herald. The museum’s announcement said the closure was temporary, but there is no timetable for reopening. Taylor said no suitable replacement building has been located yet. “The museum will be reopened in another building whenever we can locate another building,” Taylor said. The museum documented the preservation of

Mahjong craze reaches Pitt County

Mahjong is rising in popularity all over the country and now, it has sparked the creation of a new business in Greenville. Amelia Mahjong opened for business in Artisan's Decorative Accessories and Fine Gifts on Plaza Drive on Oct. 17 under the leadership of Claire Boyd and her partner Crystal Reavis. The two longtime friends have been playing the game for some time, building up a group of friends who gathered on a weekly basis to play the game which requires strategy and skill to match tiles that meet the parameters of each round in the game. "Our grandparents played bridge, our mothers played Bunco and we play Mahjong," Boyd said Friday. "We really just wanted to create a sense of community. We wanted people to be able to get together, to socialize and to enjoy themselves." Still, there's a big leap from being a fan of the game to opening a business to support the game. Amelia Mahjong's booth at Artisans is filled with playing frames, racks, tiles and a host of other accessories people can use to enhance their playing experience from sassy coffee mugs and cups to bags designed to hold the wooden racks needed for holding

Donna Davis: Two brothers, two bands and a family legacy in music

At first glance, they look a lot alike, with matching mops of strawberry blonde hair and instruments in hand. But ask them and they will tell you that Zack favors the Barbee family and James their mother’s side, the Carters. It’s a tale of two brothers: one that came to Greenville arguably during the worst of times, in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, and left with a degree and touring in a successful band that formed here, and a brother who is blazing his own trail with some parallels. James and Zack Barbee were born and raised in Concord before coming to Greenville to pursue their education at East Carolina University in 2020 and 2023, respectively. That means they have quite a lot in common with another set of sibling musicians: the Avett Brothers (also from Concord). In fact, James said he has jammed with the Avetts' father on several occasions. For the record, James answers to James or Ryan (his middle name, favored by family). “As far back as I can go before taking formal lessons, we used to go hang out with our dad every Saturday, running errands with him,” James said. “He was a big
