Siloam Township is one of fifteen townships in Surry County, North Carolina. The township had a population of 1,071 according to the 2000 census, making it the smallest township in Surry County by population.

Geographically, Siloam Township occupies 20.2 square miles (52 km²) in southern Surry County, with its southern border consisting of the Yadkin River. There are no incorporated municipalities within Siloam Township, however there are several smaller, unincoroporated communities located here, including the community of Siloam.

The community grew around Siloam Methodist Church, which was established in 1818. The church was named for the biblical Pool of Siloam.

Today the community is still "small town" with the heart of town consisting of the Siloam Post Office and "The Store" as we call it, a small convienant store that sits beside the Post Office. Further up the road is "The Red Store" and Country Cafe. The Cafe is where you can find all the local farmers for breakfast and lunch and Ginger Ramey's cooking is some of the best in the county! Ginger and her husband Phillip also own "The Red Store" which is really called Level Cross. You can always find out what is going on here in our community by stopping by the store.

The children of Siloam attend Copeland Elementary School. The school is a rural, community school located between Elkin and Pilot Mountain that was founded in 1924.

 My son Garnett (Third row up - Far Left) was a Student Ambassador this year. The duties of the Student Ambassadors are to make all new students feel welcome and to help them with the adjustment to a new school.

 My son Walter (center with his head tilted back) graduated from the 5th grade at Copeland. Each student got to realease a balloon after graduation.

Historic Home For Sale in Siloam

Atkinson - Fulk House

 This home has been part of the town of Siloam since the 1880's. Built by Samuel Josiah Atkinson this two-story vernacular farmhouse has a gable roof, gable-end chimneys, a three-bay facade with a hip-roofed porch, a center hall plan, and a one-story rear ell. Of particular interest is the central stair with its hand-carved, tapered newel, curved handrail, and curved second-floor landing. It is closely related to the stair in the nearby Gentry House and the two may have been built by the same carpenter.

This home has been updated with new siding, new windows, pex plumbing, new heat pump, gas logs, gas heat for the upstairs, carpet, tile, laminent wood flooring, (the original hard wood flooring is still in the master bedroom) and the old garage has been removed and a new wired 30 x 30 shop has been put in its place.

This home is full of history and character, schedule a showing and see this one for yourself.
