Brunswick County’s hidden past is rising from the ground as development sparks a renewed look at its ancient cemeteries—some dating back to the mid-1700s, despite the oldest marked stone being from 1804. A 2010 county-wide effort uncovered over 400 burial sites, including more than 50 tied to historic churches. One discovery: 240 unmarked graves, likely once marked by wooden crosses now gone—proof that history can vanish quietly. As the county grows, it’s also digging up and preserving its roots, one grave at a time.
