By Mark Scott, executive director of Market MontGOmery Chamber & Tourism • The most recent edition of Our State magazine has a story, “The Mystery of Badin Lake,” about 2nd Lt. Charles McDaniel, USMC, and how his wife Mary and others looked skyward in 1944 as he flew over the area before an explosion was heard and they knew his bomber crashed into Badin Lake.
The article addresses the speculation, myths and rumors about the plane crashing into the lake.
Montgomery County is also mentioned in an Our State article about North Carolina’s amazing lakes. And be sure to check out the magazine’s quiz about North Carolina’s fresh waters. There’s a reference in there to places in Montgomery County.
