Land conservancy buys small tract to add to Hanging Rock State Park

(Winston-Salem Journal) - Hanging Rock State Park in Stokes County will soon be a bit bigger, about four-tenths of an acre to be exact.

The Piedmont Land Conservancy, a nonprofit organization based in Greensboro, bought the small tract last month from Stokes County, with plans to turn it over to the state, conservancy officials said.

The conservancy bought the land for about $5,300. It was sold at auction because the owners owed the county taxes on it.
