    A fun roadside attraction! It's much bigger than I expected…read moreit to be but also don't expect a full-blown village. Lots of structures to look at with significant detail. Take your time and enjoy this special roadside attraction. Don't forget to sign the guest book in the mailbox.

    Shangri-La Stone Village is in Prospect Hill, NC. It is near the volunteer fire department, so if…read moreyou can find that, you will see Shangri-La. Admission is free and there was not anywhere to leave a donation but they do have a notebook that you can sign in and share your thoughts. The notebook in the box was from April and there have been many visitors since then. The Village was created with stone from a local quarry. He quarried the stone himself. Henry Warren created this village when he was 72 back in 1968. He was battling cancer at the time. He was a retired tobacco farmer and created 27 buildings that are pretty tall, I'd guess 4-6 feet tall, out of stone. He selected each piece and constructed it all himself. He used white flint rock, quartz, brick, and cement to create this masterpiece. I like that he used other items in his work like door knobs, table legs, ceramic and glass. The art in the designs is remarkable. His workmanship needs to be applauded as his work is still standing after decades. The Village has a mill with water wheel, a school, a church, a theater, a water tower, a farmhouse, a doghouse, an outhouse, a motel, a general store, a jail, a library, a liquor store, and City Hall. He was working on the hospital when he died and his family completed that for him. He finished in 1972 and put up a plaque in the front that says, "Let me live in the house by the side of the road and be a friend to man." Visitors are welcome to tour his creation at any time and for free. Children who came to visit would leave toys to enjoy the village so it was fun to see who was living in the village. Warren died at 84 years old back in 1977 but left behind his work of love for all of us to still enjoy. So if you get a chance, stop by and enjoy his work and take in the whimsy and feel the magic.

    The Richmond-Miles History Museum is located in Yanceyville, NC. I was not sure where to park at…read morethe museum so found a space on the square. It was just a short walk. The museum has limited hours so check the operating hours before coming. The museum is staffed by volunteers happy to answer any of your questions. The museum is free to visit but donations are accepted. The gift shop is cash or check only. The museum focuses on the history of Caswell County and is located in Maud Gatewood's Home. The Historic House was built around 1822. It was added onto at some point. It was built during the Greek Revival and Victorian times. The building was used as a residence, school and hotel at different times. The museum is on two floors. The second level is just accessible by stairs. The first floor has exhibits on Caswell County History and important people. The first thing you will notice are all the grandfather and other antique clocks. The local principal recocognized in the square has a section in the museum. The tobacco history and Native American tools and arrowheads are in one of the rooms. Military uniforms and memorabilia are in another from those who served. This room was done very well. Another area has sports memorabilia from those from Caswell County. Thomas Day's furniture is displayed. On the second floor, has the Maud Gatewood exhibit, is in the room she was born. She was an only child of John Yancey Gatewood and Mary Lea Florance Gatewood. The room has an unfinished painting of the kitchen she was working on. The room is dedicated to her artwork. If you find yourself in Yanceyville, stop by this museum.

    There is much history in North Carolina and the historical markers point out not only more modern…read morehistory but Civil War and even Revolutionary War goings on. This marker provides the detail on an incident that happened here during Colonial Times. The marker reads, "After the Regulators were defeated at Alamance, May 16, 1771, six of their number were hanged, 1/4 mile east, June 19, 1771." Online, there is more information. "In the Battle of Alamance on May 16, 1771, Governor William Tryon and his army defeated the Regulators, and as a result, six Regulators were executed by hanging in Hillsborough on June 19, 1771. The backcountry rebellion was inspired by grievances, including jurisdiction over their own affairs, and wide discontent with the practices of the British government. The Regulators sought the removal of the Currency Act of 1764 which denied use of legal tender. With higher taxation and depletion in sources for paper money, farmers urged the British government to accept commodities such as tobacco, corn, and wheat as forms of payment, but the request was denied, fomenting unrest. The Stamp Act of 1765, which taxed legal documents, newspapers, almanacs, college diplomas, playing cards, dice, and all customs papers, only fueled the fires of the Regulator movement."
