I was the first site of documented gold in the United States. I’m located close to Midland in Cabarrus County. John Reed founded me.
His son Conrad Reed was the first person to find gold. He found a 17 pound
gold nugget in 1799. I am now a National Historical Landmark. At Halloween kids come and dress up and tell the story of the “Mad Miner”.
