This land eventually was leased and then deeded to North Carolina for the creation of Pettigrew State Park in 1947.

North Carolina muscadine grapes. There are about 152 [13] muscadine cultivars grown in the Southern states. [14] These include bronze, black and red varieties and consist of common grapes and patented grapes.
