“Trail of History” is a local series from PBS Charlotte that explores the people, places, and events that helped shaped the Charlotte region. Each episode takes viewers on a journey through the past, with stories told by the folks who lived them—whether it's WWII veterans, long-time residents, or business owners who helped build the regions. It’s a mix of history, personal stories, and a closer look at how Charlotte Region became what it is today.
John Branscum has been producing Trail of History for 18 years and has worked as a television photojournalist and producer for 26 years. He began his career in 1999 as a TV photojournalist at the CBS affiliate in Little Rock, Arkansas, then moved on to the ABC affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama, before joining WBTV in Charlotte. After six years in commercial television, John transitioned to Central Piedmont Community College, where he began producing content for the college—including the early version of Trail of History. In 2012, when Central Piedmont acquired WTVI, the show moved to PBS Charlotte. In addition to producing Trail of History, John also shoots, edits, and produces segments for the station’s news magazine show, Carolina Impact.
