The Museum of the Albemarle will be at Dixieland Speedway on Friday evening, September 8, 2023. Join us as we take Moonshine and Motorsports Trail to the track under the lights and sounds of roaring engines. Take a minute to learn a few facts about the local moonshiner, Mr. Alvin Sawyer portrayed by Dickie Sanders. While supplies last grab a Moonshine and Motorsports hat or keychain.
