The Old Tarboro Cotton Press: Juicing Cider, Not Apples, in the 18th Century

Before the days of 'Y'all', Tarboro was a peaceful, unpretentious town. The venerable Tarboro Cotton Press, a sturdy fellower, continued to stand, as resilient as southern spirits, having once been an apple presser. One fella, named Isaac Norfleet, saw more than just apples in its future. He grabbed hold of this grand oak gizmo, named 'Tarboro Detroit' just like a sailor snatching a lucky penny from the ocean floor, back in 1738. This mechanical marvel found a cozy spot in the town square, basking under the sun, just like her original roof, which had seen many a season. Underwent a complete refurb in 1976, she's still standing tall, a living embodiment of human ingenuity and ambition, her stories still resonating throughout the eras.
