The Wallace Brother’s Herbarium in Statesville, North Carolina was a local landmark, an economic asset and much more. The herbarium began as a general store owned and operated by David and Isaac Wallace, brothers and German Jews who immigrated to North Carolina in the mid-1800s. The Wallaces’ enterprise in herbs and roots would grow into the largest “Botanic Depot” in the United States. Statesville Land & Record columnist O.C. Stonestreet wrote that in “its heyday, it was a minor wonder of the world.” Join noted regional historian, author, and documentarian Dr. Gary Freeze as he shares the story and legacy of this historical and botanical wonder.<\/p>\n
