GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year WFMY News 2 turns 75! So to celebrate... We're opening the WFMY News 2 vault.
June 15, 2001... We took a trip to Chapel Hill to see a special exhibit.
UNC's Wilson Library was hosting a summer exhibit on Andy Griffith.
He enrolled at the university with plans of becoming a minister.
Instead... He started participating in musicals and drama activities and was on the road to becoming an entertainer.
"It's a great shot because he's in full costume and if someone hadn't told me it was Andy Griffith, I probably never would have known that," said one patron.
The display included playbills, posters, pictures, scripts, trivia games and even a can of Andy Griffith navy beans!
Of course...the exhibit happened for a few months 23 years ago.
But if you want to know about Andy Griffith... Just take a trip to Mount Airy!
It's home to the Andy Griffith Museum and all the Andy Griffith Show nostalgia you can imagine!
