Goldsboro Wayne County… A Taste of North Carolina History

Goldsboro Wayne County

Herman ParkGoldsboro’s oldest and most popular park is in the center of town on Park Avenue. The park was donated to the City in 1890 by Solomon and Henry Weil in memory of their brother, Herman. The family also built a latticed pavilion, or park house, which is one of the few nineteenth century park houses surviving in the state. In 1916, a bronze fountain sculpted by Danish artist Bertel Thorwaldsen was added. The City raised approximately $50,000 in 2003 to replicate the now named “Lady in the Park.” The original statue is housed in the Wayne County Museum.

Herman Park’s facilities include 10 lighted tennis courts, three picnic shelters, the historic park house and fountain, a gazebo, a goldfish pond, a children’s playground, and a miniature train. Operated by the Goldsboro Kiwanis Club, the miniature train celebrated its 50th year of operation in 2005. Visitors can enjoy a train ride on weekends from 1 – 5 p.m., April through September. Herman Park is open year- round until 11 p.m.

Seven Springs United Methodist Church Seven Springs United Methodist Church, or the “Church on the Hill,” was built in 1874 and overlooks the village of Seven Springs. The hill saw Civil War occupation by Union soldiers during the Battle of Whitehall, in which Union and Confederate soldiers fought from opposite sides of the Neuse River.

Cliffs of the Neuse State ParkThe cliffs, towering 90 feet above the Neuse River, show the magnificently chiseled results of the mighty force of erosion. The multicolored cliff face reveals layers of sand, clay, seashells, shale, and gravel. The cliffs were formed when a fault in the earth’s crust shifted millions of years ago. The Neuse River followed this fault line cutting its course over time, through layers of sediment deposited by shallow seas that once covered the coastal plain. A portion of the Neuse took a bend against its bank and resulted in the erosion that eventually carved the Cliffs of the Neuse.

Now a newly approved site on the NC Birding Trail, this North Carolina State Park offers hiking trails, paddling, picnicking, and river fishing. Organized group camping (reservations required), seasonal family camping, and a seasonal swimming lake are available for a modest fee. The museum is open daily from March 15th until November 30th and on weekends during the winter months.

Mount Olive Historic DistrictMount Olive was formed as a village before the Civil War and was occupied by Union soldiers in Foster’s Raid on December 16, 1862. Incorporated in 1870, the town is home to the world famous Mount Olive Pickle Company and the North Carolina Pickle Festival. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1999, the Mount Olive Historic District features examples of numerous architectural styles, including Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival.

The Goldsborough Bridge Battleground The battlefield is the site of the Battle of Goldsborough Bridge, where on December 17, 1862, some 2,000 Confederate forces attempted to stop Union Gen. John Foster’s 12,000 troops from destroying a vital railroad bridge. The bridge, located south of the city over the Neuse River, was a key position for both Union and Confederate forces. To date, the battlefield boasts a Civil War Trails marker and a gravel parking area near the intersection of Old Mt. Olive Road and US Hwy 117.

Cherry Hospital MuseumOpened in 1880 by the state for African Americans with mental illnesses, Cherry Hospital was named in 1959 for R. Gregg Cherry, Governor from 1945-1949. It has been open to all races since 1965 when the state was divided into four regions and Cherry Hospital began serving the 33 counties of NC’s eastern region. Patients worked its 3,500 acres of farmland until the 1970s.

Goldsboro was an important railroad junction during the Civil War. Confederate troops were stationed here to guard the city and report for duty by rail. Hospitals were established and over 800 Confederate soldiers were buried in a mass grave at Willow Dale Cemetery. Breastworks were built to protect the city. Remains of these are still visible along Claiborne Street.

For information on the Civil War Trails, visit www.civilwartrails.org.

The Battle of Goldsborough Bridge: Foster’s RaidIn early December of 1862, Union General John Foster marched from New Bern with an army of 12,000 men to interrupt the Confederate supply chain by destroying the railroad bridge which crossed the Neuse River, three miles south of Goldsboro.

On December 17, Union troops attacked and pushed back a small force of 2,000 Confederates, then burned the bridge and destroyed miles of railroad tracks.

That afternoon Confederate forces attacked the rear of Foster’s army as it was leaving the field. They were repulsed by a heavy fire of musketry and artillery. The Confederates suffered over 150 casualties and Union losses were under 100.

The Union Occupation of GoldsboroughIn 1865, Goldsborough was Union General Sherman’s destination on his march through the Carolinas. Three Union armies converged on Goldsborough and captured the city in March. Union hospitals were established, and the city was occupied for three weeks by over 100,000 Union soldiers.

Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (SJAFB)Home of the 4th Fighter Wing, which flies the F-15 E Strike Eagle jet, and the 916th Air Refueling Wing, which flies the KC-135R Stratotanker, the base has an intricate history within and around Goldsboro and Wayne County. First activated in 1942, the installation was named in honor of U.S. Navy Lt. Seymour A. Johnson, a Goldsboro native and test pilot, who was killed in a Maryland crash in March 1941. By 1944, the primary mission of the base was to train P-47 Thunderbolt pilots.

Following World War II, the base was inactivated on May 31, 1946. In 1954, Goldsboro Mayor Scott B. Berkely Sr. and a group of business leaders successfully lobbied to have the base reopened.

Civil War History

Listen to the lessons of the past and learn

why Wayne County is steeped with historical

significance. Our rich history is laden with stories

of Tuscarora Indians, steam boats, Revolutionary

skirmishes, and Civil War battles. The world’s

longest railroad once ran through our county,

and we are proud to be home to Seymour

Johnson Air Force Base, home of the 4th Fighter

Wing and the 916th Air Refueling Wing.

A groundbreaking ceremony was conducted in 1955 and Seymour Johnson was reactivated in April 1956. The base officially reopened three months later on July 8th. Two years later the storied 4th Fighter Group, then known as the 4th Fighter Day Wing, arrived at Seymour Johnson.

In 2001, former Department of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld named SJAFB the winner of the 2001 Commander-In-Chief’s Award

for Installation Excellence. The award recognizes outstanding and innovative efforts of the people who operate and maintain U.S. military installations. As one of five recipients of this award, SJAFB was selected for its exemplary support of the Department of Defense mission and received $1.1 million in base improvements.

For more information, call Public Affairs at (919) 722-0027. African American HistoryIn 1869, the Quakers offered to provide a free school for African American children, if the parents could furnish a building. The land where the School Street School is now located was purchased and the school opened. In 1882, Goldsboro Graded School assumed support of the school. Later, Goldsboro Normal and Classical Institute opened nearby to prepare African Americans for college and to teach school. In 1904, it merged with Fayetteville Normal, now Fayetteville State University.

In 1894, Reverend Clarence Dillard became principal of the school. He served for 30 years and was honored by having the school named for him. Professor H.V. Brown succeeded Rev. Dillard and was later inducted into the NC Education Hall of Fame.

In 1956, the school celebrated 30 years of accreditation and two years

later, a national alumni association organization was chartered. Now called “Dillard/Goldsboro Alumni and Friends, Incorporated,” the group attracts thousands of visitors to Goldsboro each year for its annual reunion. The group has established a full service community facility, which includes the H.V. Brown Hall. The hall accommodates functions of 500 and is available as a venue for banquets, receptions, and other gatherings. Jewish HistoryHerman Weil arrived in America in 1858, followed by brothers, Henry and Solomon in the 1860s becoming part of the growing Jewish community. By the 1870s, the Weil brothers had become successful businessmen, involved in a multitude of financial and industrial ventures. Strong contributors to the cultural and educational life of the town, the brothers and their wives, Mina and Sarah, were leaders in public philanthropic activities. Solomon and Henry Weil donated the land, which would become Herman Park, to the City of Goldsboro on July 21, 1890 in honor of their brother, Herman. Lionel Weil, son of Solomon and Sarah Weil, donated 219 acres in 1945 to the State of North Carolina for a nature park, now known as Cliffs of the Neuse

State Park. Gertrude Weil, daughter of Henry and Mina, played an active role in the women’s suffrage movement of the 1920s and in a variety of progressive causes until her death in 1971. She is credited with founding the North Carolina League of Women Voters.

Temple Oheb Shalom Temple Oheb Shalom was built in 1886 and was only the second Jewish house of worship in North Carolina. Local builder Milton Harding designed the two-story red brick synagogue in a Romanesque Revival style that remains virtually unchanged today.
