86-year-old Button King Dalton Stevens Singing Just Waitin'
My friend Janna Syester and I visited the Button King, Dalton Stevens on Oct. 28, 2016 at his Button Museum in South Carolina, where he serenaded us with this song, gave us a DVD of all the TV shows where he appeared through the years, and answered all our questions about his interesting claim to fame! We loved meeting him and hearing some of his stories. We commented later that we were so glad we had gone to meet him, since he was 86 years old. As it turned out, Dalton Stevens died on November 21, just 25 days after this video was recorded. We heard he was buried in his button suit, and we assume, in his button casket. (Kim Jackson)

New Winston Museum - North Carolina's Civil War Monuments
In conjunction with our current exhibition, The War at Home, North Carolina physician, scholar, and photographer, Douglas Butler, presents the fascinating history of North Carolina's Civil War monuments. Going beyond a survey of the state's 109 Civil War commemorations, Dr. Butler's book and presentation look at the shifting perspectives and trends that informed construction of the monuments. North Carolina Civil War Monuments: An Illustrated History (McFarland, 2013), is a carefully researched and fully documented book with photographs of each monument. The War at Home is made possible in part by funding from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
