Southern Pines, circa 1908. A reunion of the Blue and Gray Civil War veterans at Captain Clark’s Opera House. The Opera House was located at the corner of Bennett Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. It was the nucleus of the town’s social events for nearly 20 years. The establishment was so popular that Captain Clark was consistently renovating, with the house eventually reaching 90 feet in depth, showcasing a large stage with wings and an orchestra pit. In 1908, Southern Pines was selected to host one of the first conventions of the Blues and the Grays since the Civil War.

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. – Abraham Lincoln
