A Civil War Battlefield Became a Supper Club

Hidden beside the Yadkin River is one of the strangest pieces of North Carolina history. Near Wil-Cox Bridge, Confederate forces made what’s considered the last Confederate victory in North Carolina during the final days of the Civil War. Decades later, the same hill overlooking the river became home to the legendary York Hill Restaurant & Star-Lite Supper Club , a roadside destination that eventually disappeared into history itself. In this episode of Carolina Posterity, we explore: • Wil-Cox Bridge • York Hill Restaurant & Star-Lite Supper Club • The location of the last Civil War Battle won in NC by one side. Most people pass through this area without ever realizing what happened here. #northcarolina #civilwar #history #fyd #roadsideamerica #WilCoxBridge #yadkinriver #CarolinaPosterity #NCHistory #forgottenhistory
