City and Forest
We’ll visit the American Tobacco Company manufacturing complex, which recently has been converted to serve a variety of urban functions, and to an area in Duke Forest, which hasn’t. Along the way we’ll have opportunities to discuss the economic, social, and political history of the city and region, the roles of tobacco and health, and the nature and history of Duke Forest. In the Forest we’ll find evidence of an important colonial road and discuss other ways that the land’s history can be “read” by an observant visitor. Sun screen, good walking shoes, and long pants recommended. We’ll choose a lunch location by consensus, from a wide variety of possibilities.
