** We are reorganizing our orientation materials. When ready, we will post dates. **
Are you starting to think about the next years of your life? Do you want it to include things like music, dance, creativity and the arts? So do we! We are the Triangle Traditional Music and Dance Retirement Society! (We shorten that to “TTMADRS” or “2T”.)
We are a group of pioneers in the creation of a retirement community in Central NC focused on arts, healthcare, and innovative housing who have been researching, educating and creating possibilities for community living where people can experience playfulness, creativity, simplicity and meaning through all of the stages of their lives.
Update March 8, 2025
2T members are updated about the progress of our zoning application at monthly meetings and in periodic emails. Non-members can track our progress on the Fiddlehead Corner website.
The Orange County Board of County Commissioners unanimously denied the rezoning requested for H4D that would have allowed us to proceed with our plan to build Fiddlehead Corner as a clustered community on the Morrow Mill property. Several commissioners commented that the master plan was good, even wonderful. But their statements expressed concern that our proposed way of implementing the plan - expanding a rural activity node and siting a community there - sets a precedent that could lead to widespread imitation, which they fear would threaten the character of rural Orange County.
As you look at this site, you will notice that detailed information ends with our Purchase and Sales agreement from over two years ago, as our efforts are focused on getting things done rather than keeping these pages updated.
Previous updates celebrated the purchase of land on which we hope to build our community - Fiddlehead Corner - in a joint effort with Hands Four Development (H4D), the business arm of 2T. This cooperative is buying and developing the land. 2T continues to support the development of the community as described in the Vision and Mission Statements. 2T’s current focus is education, communication, member recruitment, member support and "community building".
Those who have completed an orientation and have become 2T members are kept informed via monthly meetings and/or updates, where information is shared and bonds are formed. Consider joining the 2T community to participate and support our goal of making Fiddlehead Corner a reality.
Interested in 2T?
If you're waiting for a 2T orientation, we apologize for not getting one together for February. As you can imagine, all of our resources (time, energy, emotion) were devoted to the zoning application.
Explore the information on this website and then, if you are interested in attending a future orientation, please sign up (using the middle blue button below). You can indicate whether you prefer weekend afternoons or weekday nights, which helps with our scheduling.
We plan to have an orientation in March and will announce the date here and on our Facebook page once we have it all worked out.
Even with everything else going on, we are always looking for new community members so please share this website with friends who may also be interested.
