Mocksville Real Estate

History: The county was named Davie in honor of William R. Davie, a Revolutionary War Leader, governor of North Carolina, minister to France and a leader in the founding of the University of North Carolina.
While the name Daniel Boone is associated generally with Kentucky and the West, he also lived in Davie County for most of 13 years.
Joppa Cemetery is one of the oldest and most historic graveyards in Davie County. The burial grounds contain the graves of Squire and Sarah Boone, parents of Daniel Boone. Daniel Boone lived near Bear Creek during his teens and early twenties. A North Carolina historical marker notes the spot of the cemetery located on US 601 in Mocksville.

Arts: The Davie County Arts Council, Inc. was established in 1975 as a non-profit organization and promotes and sponsors the discovery, appreciation, and enrichment of the arts throughout Davie County. Located on historic Main Street in the Town of Mocksville, the Arts Council is centrally positioned to carry out its mission of "Connecting People to the ARTS!"
In addition to community outreach programs and arts education for children, the Arts Council schedules and presents arts events and performances at the Brock Performing Arts Center (BPAC). In October of 1994, a campaign was launched to raise capital funds to renovate the Old Mocksville Elementary and High School Auditorium, which originally opened in 1951. It was used for 44 years for school chapel programs, school and community drama presentations, music recitals, pageants, concerts, religious services, meetings, and instructional classes. The renovated facility opened in 1998 as the Brock Performing Arts Center (BPAC).
The 485-seat center is available for rent by the community and professional performers with special rates for non-profit organizations. Also, the BPAC has gallery space to host exhibits by local artists, children in the Davie County Schools and traveling exhibits from the North Carolina Museum of Art.
