Fayetteville and Western Plank Road Historical Marker, Bethania, NC

The Fayetteville and Western Plank Road was a 129 mi (208 km) plank road from Fayetteville, NC to the Moravian settlement at Bethania, NC.[1] The road was constructed from 1851-1852 using funds raised by boosters and accompanying funds provided by the state of North Carolina. During the mid-1850s, business on the toll-based road provided as much as $27,419.77 income in one year, but by the turn of the decade income no longer met maintenance costs and the road was unprofitable.
