Do you know of Husk ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Husk. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Husk.<1>

Our sources for Husk (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Husk other than they indicate that Husk would be found somewhere in Ashe County, North Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1882.
