Cabarrus Black Boys Chapter NSDAR
Concord, North Carolina
In 1916, the Daughters of the Cabarrus Black Boys Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution erected a fountain on the Cabarrus County Courthouse lawn, "In memory the Cabarrus Black Boys who destroyed the British ammunition, May 17, 1771 - In defense of American Liberty."
The Daughters of the chapter completed a project to restore and re-dedicate the fountain in 2015 on what is now the Historic Courthouse lawn.
The French government donated this German gun to the Cabarrus Black Boys Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution; the chapter then presented it to Cabarrus County in 1920.

Traditional Rock is the site where the three White brothers, disguised, met their father coming from the mill. Not being recognized, they demanded his horse before joining the other six boys who made up the Cabarrus Black Boys.
