GRAHAM COUNTY
Updated 12/31/99
During 1990-1991, portions of Graham and adjacent counties were intensively searched to document the archaeological remains of over 300 removal-era Cherokee homesteads. Support for the project came from a grant administered by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office. Over 400 prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in Graham County are in the Historic Preservation Office's state inventory.
In 1997 to 1998, the Historic Preservation Office sponsored a reconnaissance survey of the county.
Two state-funded grants totaling $40,000 were provided for restoration of the Graham County Courthouse in 1984 and 1985. A $4,000 federal subgrant assisted an architectural reconnaissance survey of Graham County (together with Swain County) in 1997.
