Pottery of Seagrove... Seagrove boasts over 100 potters scattered throughout the countryside. Some families date back to the 1700's. Visit the local potters and get their family history. Don't be shy about asking questions, as they love to talk about their pottery. They are friendly and always glad you stopped in.  The name Seagrove came from a railroad official who was in charge of routing a railroad through the area. His name was Edwin G. Seagroves. The 's' was dropped when there wasn't enough space on the sign. The railroad station now is home to the North Carolina Pottery Center and on Main Street is the Museum of North Carolina Traditional Pottery. Both are a great place to start your experience.
