Franklinton High School (North Carolina)

Shemuel Kearney House was a historic plantation house located near Franklinton, Franklin County, North Carolina, formerly at 2555 U.S. Highway 1 south of town. In 2009, the house was dismantled and moved to nearby Louisburg for restoration as the original property was recently zoned by Franklin County for commercial use. Therefore, the building had to be relocated. The Shemuel Kearney House was reconstructed next to another historic residence, the Cooke House, on Peach Orchard Road in 2015.Although the National Register of Historic Places lists the house as being built in 1790, it was actually constructed in 1759 by Shemuel Kearney (1734–1808) and is currently the second oldest residence in Franklin County after Cascine Plantation which was built in 1752. The home consists of a 1+1⁄2-story, three-bay, gambrel roofed main block with a later one-story, gable roofed rear wing. It has a simple, robust Georgian style finish.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Originally mapped in Cecil County, Maryland in 1899, more than 10 million acres (40,000 km²) of the Cecil soil series (Fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Kanhapludults) are now mapped in the Piedmont region of the southeastern United States. It extends from Virginia through North Carolina (where it is the state soil), South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, with the typic Cecil pedon actually located in Franklin County, NC. The Cecil series developed over igneous rock such as granite, and metamorphic rock which is chemically similar to granite. Virgin Cecil soils support forests dominated by pine, oak and hickory, and have a topsoil of brown sandy loam. The subsoil is a red clay which is dominated by kaolinite and has considerable mica. Few Cecil soils are in their virgin state, for most have been cultivated at one time or another. Indifferent land management has allowed many areas of Cecil soils to lose their topsoils through soil erosion, exposing the red clay subsoil. This clay is amenable to cultivation, responds well to careful management, and supports healthy growth of pine where allowed to revert to forest. Like other well-drained Ultisols, it is ideal for urban development; however, in common with other kaolinite-dominated clays, it has little ability to recover from soil compaction. Total potassium in the Cecil is higher than typical for Ultisols due to the presence of mica.
