I work with the Friends of the Oddfellows Cemetery Restoration, Inc. Oddfellows was established in 1911, to bury the loved ones of African American Oddfellows' members, because there was no other place to go in segregated Winston at the time. Some burials are said to be former slaves. About one-quarter of the cemetery has been cleaned - much more to do! Happy to give individual historical tours of the grounds, by appointment.
