Scenic byways aim to draw tourists through Jones County
Rural Jones County weighs the value of tourism as hunters and travelers pass through on US 17 and NC 58. Officials, including Steve Long and Larry Meadows, see potential in a new scenic byway “Sherman’s Run,” linking Trenton to Holts Pond, with Civil War sites, markers, and a renovated town hall eyed to lure visitors and boost local businesses.
