A small town’s Old Well honors a trailblazing Tar Heel

Posted Feb 26, 2021
Chris Suggs was standing in front of the Old Well. Just not the one generations of Tar Heels have become so familiar with. More than 100 miles east of Chapel Hill, in Kinston, North Carolina, sits a perfectly-sized replica of the Old Well - blue-tiled roof, white columns and all. It was built to honor another Kinston fixture - UNC trailblazer Harvey Beech. (UNC.edu)
