Text of Cachet, Back:

Liberty, NC Reputed as the most historical small town in North Carolina, Liberty Oak, as it was originally known, grew up around a big oak tree on a plantation built by John Leak in 1809. John was Liberty's first official resident. During the Revolutionary war, soldiers camped out in what was then Liberty Oak. The large oak tree in the center of the camp was used as a make shift town square, meeting place, and ultimately a place to hang war time criminals.

In 1889, the small town was incorporated as Liberty, NC. Liberty is also home to The Liberty Antiques Festival, a world famous antiques show.
