So many may not know of Merritts Pasture overlooking Morgan Creek but it’s my salvation living in Chapel Hill!
ETA sorry for the plaque being upside down but Ruby and Eban Merritt owned so much land in Orange County that at a county meeting someone said that Mr. Merritt was buying up the whole county (1930-40s) and Eban responded “That’s not true I only want that which is contiguous to mine!”
