Site of Sunny Acres ca. Early 1930's
Built by Miss Anna Ogburn of Winston-Salem, a Methodist philanthropist and benefactor. The large 200-foot long house was originally used as a country retreat for underprivileged children and as a Methodist Church conference center. Later Sunny Acres was used as a community center, to house a doctor's office, and other businesses. It was the site of the first location of the Lewisville Branch of the Forsyth County Public Library.
Erected By The Lewisville Historical Society In 2004.
Guessing the artwork was drawn by Patty Bailey Sheets since her name is below the drawing.
This sign is located at the intersection of Williams Rd. & Shallowford Rd. in Lewisville, NC (Forsyth Co.)
