Halifax County Curb Market thrives on community effort
The Halifax County Home Demonstration Curb Market opened in 1931 and moved from a loaned store to a brick building with office, rest room and kitchen. Led by Hazel E. Wheeler, funds came from donations totaling 835.85 and county support. Sellers from many towns share in stable weekly income from poultry, pork, eggs and baked goods, with meals served to fund the building. Local women note improved livelihoods, skills, and social ties while celebrating a resilient, self supporting market.
