Civil War Preservation
Trust names Yadkin River Bridge one of America's 25 Most Endangered
Civil War Battlefields in 2008 and 2009
Development of High Rock Raceway would build parking lots and a racetrack on 200 acres of the heart of the Yadkin River Bridge Civil War battlefield. This project also would block access to the 1818 Ithiel Town Bridge, the Ferry crossed by Jefferson Davis at the close of the Civil War, as well as disturb a stream along which Revolutionary War armies camped in the fall of 1780.
