Character
What Mount Gilead is like
Mount Gilead is small by design and comfortable with it. For lake owners on the eastern shore it covers the essentials — fuel, hardware, a handful of restaurants, a pharmacy — and it puts Town Creek Indian Mound, one of North Carolina's most important archaeological sites, within a few minutes' drive.
