Serene Sunday: Lead Mine Lake

Many have asked if there was ever a Lead Mine in the area:
 
Beneath Lead Mine Road there is a series of hidden graphite mines, many of which are still under the current Greystone Village neighborhood. Sawmill Road, which now connects Creedmoor and Lead Mine, was named for a sawmill located near the same area in Raleigh's early days.
