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.

Here, one can find charming hand-painted, up-cycled wooden vessels; well-wrought laser-cut metal wall-sculptures that convey dimensionality even though they are just 2-D (still want that 1964 Mustang that looks like it is going to drive off of the wall); and skillfully painted oils and water colors. The common denominators are two: All of the work is local and the owner, Shirley, personally selects the artists. Shirley is a former art teacher and an artist in her own right. Indeed, some of her work hangs in the gallery. Shirley drips with southern charm and hospitality as she cheerfully discusses a piece or artist. No hushed tones or pretentiousness here. Although the gallery's posted hours are limited, Shirley welcomes guests by appointment. All you have to do is ring her up.

Unlike some other venues you cannot bring in a sealed water bottle but their alcoholic beverages were much cheaper than the venues in Raleigh. It's the perfect size -- max capacity of around 5,000 including the lawn. Our seats were fairly close to the front and if you were seated in that area you were allowed to stand in front of the stage if you wanted. I wish they had more shows -- it was totally worth the drive there.
