In the 1750s, Quakers from Pennsylvania and Virginia settled in the
North Carolina Piedmont, eventually organizing Spring Friends
Meeting in 1763. The Friends still gather by the spring and wait
for the light to descend upon them 250 years later. Spring Meeting
nursed the injured and dying in the American Revolution, said
goodbye to members migrating to farmlands in the Northwest, stood
against slavery in the antebellum years, helped reconstruct the
South in the late 1800s, and held their pacifist beliefs throughout
the 20th century. A record-setting World Series pitcher, leading
educators, missionaries, and major figures in North Carolina Quaker
leadership fill its rolls. Persevering through the ebb and flow of
revivals and apathy, Spring Meeting has left its mark in history.
Today the spring flows, the front door remains unlocked, and
members still gather on First Sundays.
