Junion ’25: Revolutionary Descent is a powerful afternoon of community, history and celebration on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 2 to 5 p.m., at historic Cedar Grove, 8229 Gilead Road, Huntersville, North Carolina.
Cedar Grove is on the site of the 1775 Hugh Torance House and Store.

Torrence, son of Hugh and Isabella Torance.
