Reed Gold Mine State Historic Site

Reed Gold Mine is the site of the first documented gold find in the United States. John Reed (Johannes Reith) was a Hessian soldier who left the British army near the conclusion of the Revolutionary War and came to settle near fellow Germans living in the lower Piedmont of North Carolina. In 1799, Reed's son Conrad found a large yellow rock in Little Meadow Creek on the Reed farm. This rock reportedly weighed 17 pounds and for three years was used as a doorstop at the Reed house. In 1802 a Fayetteville jeweler identified the gold nugget. Portions of the underground tunnels at the Reed mine have been restored for guided tours. A visitor center contains exhibits of gold and historical mining equipment. An orientation film highlights the firstgold discovery, and tours of a restored ore-crushing stamp mill are offered. A picnic area is available, and trails wind through the historic mining area.
