In celebration of Granville County’s 275th Anniversary, local author Lewis Bowling was commissioned to create a comprehensive collector-style book which follows Granville County’s development from its early history to present day. The book includes a descriptive narrative in Bowling’s familiar story-telling style, as well as rare photos, some of which have yet to be seen by the public.
