Grew up in Albemarle County where every fire station/church/HS sports team fund raiser made 50 gallon batch's of Brunswick Stew every year. They varied a bit but all were so fantastic.
Anyone know places up here that do this? |

| No. Walmart often has cans of Mrs Fearnow's Brunswick Stew - it is not identical to fresh stew, but very good for canned stew. |

| Albemarle County, NC correct? |

| Brunswick County, VA (southside VA) is the birthplace of Brunswick Stew. |

Albemarle County, VA has lots of what OP describes, so that is my guess. |

| For authenticity, use squirrel meat…. |

| True story: I grew up in NoVA and had never heard of Brunswick Stew until my aunt put a recipe for it in a family cookbook one of my cousins organized a few years ago. But I still thought it was just like her own personal recipe. I had no idea there was this generic thing called Brunswick Stew that apparently is universally known. |

Correct, Just south of the Madison Co. Line. Madison County Volunteer Firefighters has a great one but I don't want to drive all the way out there. |

| You want it at a restaurant or from a fire station/church? |

Preferably, yeah. It will be better. |

Also Albermarle County NC hasn't existed since the 18th century, although Brunswick stew is really popular in NC. |

| It is true it has squirrel meat in it? I heard this was customary for Appalachia ( I was born and raised in France.) |
