Cameron

Born of a plank road and a railroad and spurred on by the turpentine and dewberry industries, Cameron prospered in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Railroad arrived in 1875 and a town was planned and built by the people. Cameron was the end of a run for the Raleigh and Augusta Railroad. The Dewberry business was so successful that for many years Cameron was considered the dewberry capital of the world! A compact community consisting of one and two story frame and brick houses, stores and churches displaying elements of the styles popular in the era of 1875 to 1925. Today Cameron still retains its turn of the century character and its feeling of a modest, isolated, concentrated village with many antique and collectible shops. It is a National Register Historic District.
