"Once you get that Bynum mud between your toes, you'll always come back!”

Bynum is a retired cotton mill village along the banks of the Haw River. The first mill was built around 1872. The town grew and became a vibrant community. Neighbors gathered to commiserate… and celebrate! Bynum General Store opened in 1936. There was five stores in town, a movie theater and a school. The mill closed in 1983, and is just a memory now, but Bynum is almost as vibrant as years past! The longing to keep the community together continues to grow strong.

The Bynum Music Series began in 2001 to help sustain the Bynum General Store. When the Store's operator wanted to retire in 2006, Bynum neighbors banded together and created a non-profit organization called Bynum Front Porch. Our mission is to create family-friendly events and programs to celebrate the community’s rich history and bright future. The store was a historical landmark and is still the social center of the community.
