History Dibs 'n' Dabs

  Each Tuesday through Thursday morning during Morning Edition,  the folks from Mountain Gateway Museum in Old Fort, NC bring us "History Dibs 'n' Dabs", brief explorations into the rich and colorful history of western North Carolina. 

Mountain Gateway Museum is the westernmost branch of the NC Museum of History, and the show is produced in association with the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources. The theme music is "Coin Toss at Kitty Hawk", written by Jim Elkins and performed by Possum Creek.
