The
founding purpose of The Cool Water Historic Foundation, Inc. was to
conduct a meticulous colonial restoration of the Solomon Carter
House in Duplin County, North Carolina. The house was built by
Solomon Carter (1725-1809), who fought in the Revolutionary War for
the North Carolina Militia. In 1850, the house was purchased by Amos Simmons whose descendants lived there until 1965. The historic value of the house lends
itself to archaeological studies and historical research.
