Married couple Robert McCorkle and Margaret McCorkle recall their family's history and changes to the land and environment in Gaston County, North Carolina. Topics discussed include home remedies, animals in the area such as doves, activities that Mr. McCorkle does in his free time such as hunting rabbits, and how Mr. McCorkle worked on his dad's farm when he was younger. The McCorkles talk about the new housing communities that are being built in the area and how they do not think that new development is necessarily bad for the community, but they do not want rapid growth to change the nature of the area.
