    I live among what I describe as "Aging Hippies", "Good Ole Boys" and "Wise-Women" in the village of Saxapahaw (sax ‘ pa’ haw), Alamance County NC. It is situated along the Haw River, a five minute walk from my house.

    The Sissipahaw Indians were the indigenous people that owned the land that is now Saxapahaw. The land was later acquired by Congressman B Everett Jordan who built a cotton and dye mill along the river. The mill has long since closed. Congressman Jordan allowed the mill workers to buy their homes. And those cottages are now part of the landscape of Saxapahaw.
