Daniel Boone - Pioneer Giant
There's a statue resembling an 18th Century pioneer who led settlers from the North into North Carolina. Presently the centerpiece of a funky (but well-known) antiques mall -- The Shops at Daniel Boone Village -- in Hillsborough, a town founded in 1752 and an important Colonial center for trade and state government.

I ran across this guy right off I-85 in [Hillsborough] this year. He is at the gate of a "Daniel Boone Antique Center" (right across the street from Hardees).
