The Caswell County Historic Courthouse is located in Yanceyville, NC. Caswell County is named…read moreafter Richard Caswell, who was the first governor of North Carolina. The courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Victorian Courthouse was completed in 1861 and designed by William Percival. The building has very nice architecture with Italian Romanesque features. It is two stories tall with large windows. You can't miss it in the square.

Caswell County was established by the State of North Carolina in 1777. The courthouse was built…read moreshortly before the Civil War in a Victorian design. The present courthouse is the fourth here, built after the third structure was burned down in the 19th century. This was designed by William Percival and includes central arches supporting overhanging domes. The building houses two courtrooms within a combination of Neo-Classical, Victorian, and Renaissance architectural styles. The design is unusual for sure. The old Caswell County jail, built towards the end of the nineteenth century, stands behind the courthouse. The basement is the site of a brutal murder - Senator J.W. Stephens was killed here in 1870, sent to investigate suspected KKK members. The murder, along with that of black town commissioner Wyatt Outlaw in Graham earlier that year, led to the Kirk-Holden War. The Governor declared martial law and suspended the right of habeas corpus in Caswell County. On a Sunday afternoon, the building was locked and secured. The front door is glass so you can still peek inside at the main hallway. And of course, the grounds are open for walking. The bronze Confederate soldier stands in a square in front of the courthouse. [Review 2477 of 2024 - 3931 in North Carolina - 23489 overall]

I absolutely love this little library. A true gem among Boston's treasures. Walking through the…read moredoors is a step back in time. Presumably built in the 1950s, it remains virtually untouched by modernization (aside from the computer terminals, which are free to use for all visitors). Old wooden bookcases house a vast collection of adult and children's books. Old-school tables and chairs still adorn the (large) children's section. Even the heavy gold curtains hanging in the windows reflects the ambiance of yesteryear. And the librarians? Well, just as warm and inviting as the library itself. If you ever visited libraries as a child, you'll have a sense of revisiting your childhood when you visit the South Boston Library.

Pink Anderson tells the story this way…read more On the 29th day of one November morning, when the cloud was hangin' low, 97 pulled out from Washington city, like an arrow shot from the bow 97 was the fastest mail train the South had ever seen, and it run from New York by the way of Washington, through Atlanta down in New Orlean I was standing on the mountain one cold and frosty morning, watching the smoke from below, that were comin' from the funnel of that black and dusty engine, way down up on that Southern road It was 97, the fastest mail train that run the Southern line, and when she pulled in, at Lynchburg, Virginia, she was forty-seven minutes behind Steve Brady, he was an engineerah and a very brave man was he. Well, there're many good men have lost their life for the railroad company When they give him his orders at Monroe, Virginia, said, "Steve, you's way behind. This is not 38, but it's little 97, You must put her in Spencer on time." Steve, he smiled when he said to his black and dusty fireman, "Throw me in a little more coal, and as soon as we cross this White Oak Mountain you can watch my driver roll." It was mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville, the line on a 3-mile grade. It were on that hill where he lost his air brakes. You can see what a jump he made Steve come down that hill makin' 90 miles an hour, his whistle began to scream. Steve was found in the wreck with his hand upon the throttle and scalded to death by the steam Steve, he had a little wife and also two children, who were lyin' at home in bed. They received the sad message saying, "Husband and father now'm is lyin' in North Danville, dead." Now, ladies, you ought to let this be a warning, this, from now and on: Never speak hard words to your true lovin' husband, they may leave you and never return. Mikey C says: Amen

The marker reads, "Rawley White Martin Residence. Here stands Morea, the home of Lt. Col. Rawley W. Martin (1835-1912), a physician who served with Pittsylvania County soldiers during the Civil War in the 53d Virginia Infantry Regiment of Brig. Gen. Lewis A. Armistead's brigade. At Gettysburg, Pa., on 3 July 1863, Martin led the regiment in the Confederate attack known as Pickett's Charge, and was wounded and captured.

He later served on the University of Virginia Board of Visitors, and as president of the state Board of Health, the Board of Medical Examiners, and the Medical Society of Virginia."
