Preserving and sharing the history of Chatham County North Carolina

Egypt Store

28 Nov 2021 8:45 PM | Chatham Historical Museum (Administrator)

Egypt, now Cumnock, was envisioned in the 1880's as a town with hundreds of houses, churches, stores, a grand hotel, bank and more, all centered around the coal mine. The hotel was built, but the town never came close to what was planned.

Thanks to Forest Hazel, who has researched all of the Deep River mines, for this information, and to Larry Pickard for the photo of the Egypt store.
