Just a note - this doubles as a seed store! You can buy fresh peanuts, beans, local stickers and front plates here. Kind of reminds me of an old school hobby shop! I love it. Friendly gentleman helped me, quick in and out visit. Pretty limited parking by front door but plenty around near Moss. Definitely an option if you need to pay in person (we had a registration snafu).

She was also very candid as to what services they can and cannot provide and I believe that is where a lot of frustration as a consumer comes in as they aren't able to assist with the general usage of the online website, which can be very confusing and frustrating to an end-user. As someone who had spent multiple hours on hold with the 800 number, it was refreshing to speak with a helpful, cordial person face-to-face!

The marker reads, "James E. Webb, 1906-1992. Led NASA, 1961 to 1968, during Mercury, Gemini, and early Apollo. He est. Johnson, Kennedy space centers. Lived 1 blk. W." Online, there is more information. "James Webb was born in Tally Ho, Granville County, in 1906. He grew up in Oxford where his father was superintendent of schools. By the time he was asked to run the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), he had gained a reputation as a more than capable administrator. His career to that point included serving as vice- president of the Sperry Gyroscope Company in New York, commander of the First Marine Air Warning Group at Cherry Point during World War II, and director of the Bureau of Budget and undersecretary of state for the Truman administration, in addition to early stints in the offices of North Carolina congressman Edward Pou and former governor O. Max Gardner." "During a time of great social and political upheaval, Webb advocated relentlessly for his agency, making himself personally available to answer questions regarding mistakes, setbacks, or failures in order to deflect the heat away from his staff. Following the tragic loss of Ed White, Roger Chaffee, and Gus Grissom in the Apollo 1 fire on January 20, 1967, Webb spent the next several months on Capitol Hill subjecting himself to the questions, harangues, and criticisms of multiple congressional committees. It was a crucial moment for the agency--there were questions as to whether the Apollo program, or even NASA, could survive it--but Webb took the heat, thereby allowing his agency escape relatively unscathed." This is marker number G-136 and it was erected in 2018 by the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. The road is wide enough that you can stop here to read it.

This is such a cool little museum and place to see if you are wanting to do something unique in…read moreDurham that's rich in the city's history. Museum: 5/5 The museum has a ton of cool displays that show the early days of the tobacco industry and Duke family. Right outside of the museum is a large area with a trail that takes you by the Dukes original house, tobacco plants and the tobacco field. You are free to wonder the grounds. However, I recommend paying for the guided tour. With that you get to go inside the structures and hear all about the history of the property and early tobacco industry. In addition you get to learn a lot about the events that shaped the city. Price: 5/5 The museum and grounds is FREE! The guided tour is only $4. Coming from CA, it doesn't get much better than this! Customer Service: 5/5 The guide was great! Very friendly and very knowledgeable in the content. Parking: 5/5 Huge parking lot right in front. Parking was great.

Highlights include entering the 2nd factory and the Duke family home. (And I can't get "Duke, duke, duke... Duke of Earl, duke, duke out of my head). You even get to whack tobacco. While the tobacco industry goes back earlier, it is just about the time after the Civil War ends that it really gets interesting, as soldiers coming home chew (or is that "chaw"), smoke, or sniff tobacco. Washington Duke capitalized on it. And now... there's a university and gardens named after the family - with a top notch basketball program, of course! The tour is about an hour. There are other building to see from the outside. Can ask as many questions as you like!

This building is the third courthouse and was completed in 1907. The building faces east and is a two story red colored brick and concrete structure. The east front has a projecting center section with a central entrance with arched window on the second story.The building houses the County Superior Court and County District Court of the 9th Judicial District. An addition has been added on the north side making it an unsymmetrical structure. Still, an impressive structure that projects the power and austerity of the judiciary.

Hyman. 1840-1891. First African American to represent N.C. in U.S. Congress, 1875-77; state Senator & member, 1868 constitutional convention. He lived 1 block west." There is more information online. John A. Hyman, born into slavery in Warren County, North Carolina in 1840, became the first African American to represent the state in Congress, elected in 1874 from the "Black Second" district. His early life was marked by hardship, including being sold and sent to Alabama, but he returned home after the Civil War and quickly rose through the ranks of Reconstruction-era politics. Hyman served in multiple conventions and the state senate, though his tenure was marred by involvement in political scandals like the Littlefield-Swepson bond fraud. After a failed congressional bid in 1872, he won election in 1874 but was denied renomination in 1876; during his term, he advocated for civil rights and voting protections. Financial troubles and controversy followed him in Warrenton, and by 1880 he relocated to Washington, D.C., where he worked modestly until his death and burial in the capital. It is marker number E-101. It was erected in 2022 by the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. [Review 941 of 2025 - 4344 in North Carolina - 24496 overall]
