Mt Shepherd Pottery

Located on the Mount Shepherd Retreat Center & Camp operated by the United Methodist Church, the Archaeological Pottery Site, c. 1775-1800,  is one of the few eighteenth century earthenware pottery kiln sites investigated in North Carolina.  The Mount Shepherd site has yielded and is likely to yield significant information pertaining to the history of the earthenware ceramic industry in the Piedmont, N.C.  The work of Philip Jacob Meyer and his connections to the Moravian potters at Bethabara and Salem contribute important insights into the ceramic industry of this region of N.C.
