The Army of Tennessee camped on the outskirts of town while General Joseph E. Johnston met with Confederate President Jefferson Davis at the Piedmont Railroad station.

This tour focuses on the neighborhood’s evolution from the late 19th century, when Southside was an economically diverse neighborhood that bordered an industrial area, to its present state as a middle class community that is driven by a service economy. You will explore the diversity of one of Greensboro’s earliest suburbs and the changes it has witnessed culminating in its attempted return to its roots. http://library.uncg.edu/dp/walkingtours/southside.asp Mon, 5 Mar 2007 14:00:00 EST 22:52 Jessica Armstrong, Doug Robertson, and Jana-Marie Winer A Walk Through UNCG During the Great Depression During the early 1930s, the North Carolina College for Women served as a sanctuary for the girls who were able to attend by insulating them from the harshness of the Depression that existed in other areas. The school struggled with budget cuts and reduced amenities for students; however, it still attempted to provide students with everything necessary to ensure their educational and personal wellbeing.
