Hello and welcome to lizard lick n.c, and my name is Caleb godette. And I would like to talk to you about lizard lick.We people that live in this area are very nice.

During the late 19th century, the federal government opened a liquor store. mayor charles woods’s was born in the area around 1890. There was a wooden rail fence built around the still where hundreds of lizards would run the fence to catch insects that were attracted by the mash used to make the whiskey. He reported that ol’ ed pulley was the official Whiskey Taster for the Government. When ed sampled the day’s run and was feeling no pain, he would take his walking cane and run the lizard off the fence as he left for him. He gave directions by telling people. The operator of the still was caught making whiskey on the side and was sent up town to the jail house.
