Pottery Road

Overview

Pottery Road journeys from the North Carolina Sandhills near Pinehurst through the Piedmont region to Seagrove, an area known worldwide for beautiful pottery. In the 18th century, seven families from Staffordshire, England, the pottery center of England, settled within a five-mile radius of each other near Westmoore. Today, their descendants continue to make both traditional and modern pottery forms. There are nearly 80 potteries in the vicinity of this byway and several directly along the route.
