Blueberries with Deep Roots in Pender
Description
Blueberries got their start in North Carolina thanks to early USDA research—and now Pender County’s new exhibit “Deep Blue Roots” reveals the wild history behind the sweet crop. On display at the Blueberry Festival inside the historic Burgaw Depot, it traces how wild berries turned into a booming industry across counties like Pender, Duplin, and Sampson. After the festival ends June 20th, the exhibit moves to the Pender County Museum for free, year-round viewing. Perfect for history buffs and blueberry lovers alike—just show up or book an appointment.
