Join Us for Our Read and Go Trip - Indigo Fields

Embark on a captivating journey with author Marjorie Hudson.

Enjoy exploration, intrigue, and the rich tapestry of Southern life as we traverse the landscapes that inspired the pages of "Indio Fields." While reading the book beforehand is optional, it certainly enhances the experience.

Our adventure begins amidst the charm of Fearrington Village, where you can marvel at the endearing sight of fainting goats and belted cows. Fuel up with a cup of coffee and explore the quaint offerings at The Belted Cow or peruse the treasures at the local bookstore.

Next, we'll journey to Bynum, a historical cotton mill village steeped in rich heritage. Step back in time at the Bynum General Store, a cherished establishment dating back to 1936. Indulge in a delightful lunch at Virlie's, savoring the flavors of the South at your leisure, before meandering through the small shops that line the streets.

This trip will leave from the Anne Gordon Center for Active Adults, 1901 Spring Forest Road. For any trip questions contact Carmen Rayfield at 919-996-4734 or any of our Active Adult Centers. Learn more about the Indigo Fields Trip.
