Piedmont Trails is dedicated to preserving history by tracing the footsteps of our ancestors, with a strong emphasis on genealogy and the study of colonial America. With a rich history spanning over forty years, the organization focuses on researching colonial roads, early settlements, and family migrations, thereby connecting the past with the present. Their notable projects include the Great Wagon Road Project, which aims to establish this significant migration route as a national historic trail, and the Colonial Indentured Servants Project, which seeks to honor the stories of those who were bound in servitude during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Additionally, they document the backgrounds of members involved in the North Carolina Regulators and those who took sides during the American Revolutionary War without engaging in battle. Piedmont Trails is not just an archive of information; it is a vibrant community inviting others to join their journey into the past, as they continue to adapt and grow with new findings and discoveries in history and genealogy
