The Todd Community Preservation Organization is an active

 group of Todd citizens who are dedicated to preserving our

mountain roots and our small town charm.  The following are just a

 few of the many ongoing projects completed by the TCPO,

 its partners and volunteers.

The most recent project to be completed is the Todd Historic District Walking Trail.  Trail brochures are available in the Depot, the Todd General Store and the Todd Mercantile.  This self-guided tour meanders through Todd’s historic district and includes nearby places of interest such as the old Elkland School and Gymnasium.

 

Ongoing is the 6th Annual Todd Summer Music Series.  This popular

afternoon of Appalachian rooted music in Cook Park is a local and

tourist favorite.  Local musicians such as Wayne Henderson and

Amantha Mill keep the southern mountain music traditions alive for

 young and old alike.  A special memorial concert by Doc Watson is an

additional summer special event.

 

The Todd Island Park and the Walter and Annie Cook Memorial

Park were both purchased and are maintained by the TCPO.  

TCPO partners, Handmade in America , provided funding for

the stage  in Cook Park.  Todd Ruritan Club has also partnered

 with the TCPO to assist with landscaping and maintaining both

of our local Parks.

 

TCPO has also partnered with the National Committee for the New River, the NC Clean Water

Management Trust and River Builders to assist Todd in protecting the river and its banks by

planting trees for stream bank stabilization.

 

TCPO supports local community based organizations and

their events such as the Elkland Art Center and the

4th of July, community Liberty Parade & Circus.
