Caswell County: The Conservator’s Center, Museums, Festivals..and Christmas Lights!

Posted on Thu - Feb 13th, 2014 by NC-Culture Posted in Of Special Interest .

Caswell County, NC, in the piedmont area of North Carolina.

As with each of our posts on different counties, we are going to bring you a few points of interest, and then general information on the county.  Please remember these posts are meant as a starting point only, and in no way showcases the entire county..Some of our wonderful NC counties would need pages and pages to represent all they have to offer!

Richmond Miles History Museum on Facebook is located in Yanceyville, in the historic district.  This museum has a lot to offer: geneology, etc, plus the current exhibit described below by the docents:

The current exhibit, “Changing America”, is actually being housed in the courthouse building, due to the size.

“For the month of February we are open Monday thru Saturday 12-5:00 p.m.  Other months Thurs and Friday 1-4 p.m.

Right now we have the “Changing America” from the Smithsonian Institute in our Yanceyville Town Hall.  The Museum would not hold it.  The exhibit is open 7 days a week 12 -5.  We were 1 out of 50 places in the US to receive this exhibit.

Browse our exhibits in the historic Graves Florence House, circa 1820. You may schedule a guided tour of the museum as well by appointment.

The Richmond-Miles History Museum serves as the hub of the CCHA’s tourism. From here you may schedule individual or group tours of downtown Yanceyville. Sites include: The Museum, The Town Square, The Historic County Courthouse, The Old Jail, The Poteat Schoolhouse, and the Historic Homes of West Main Street. Just call/email or simply post or message us here to schedule a tour. Prices are $5.00 a person and small children are free. Come experience Yanceyville as told by a historic figure from Caswell’s rich history!

We also offer genealogical research here at our museum. Resources reach beyond our facility to The Register of Deeds and Clerk of Court offices and the History Room at the Gunn Memorial Library just a walk down Main Street. Big or small- we can help you with any genealogical or historical research project on Caswell County! Please call/email or message us on the page for assistance”

Although the Conservator’s Center has a street address of Burlington (Alamance County), it is actually located in Caswell County.  I have visited this center, and can whole-heartedly say it was a highly enjoyable experience.  The tour guides are very well-versed, and can handle just about any question, and you truly do see a variety..plus the grand finale of “oofing” at the end of our tour was worth its’ weight in gold!

This is the stated mission of the Center:

Our Mission

We have a three part mission – education, conservation, rescue – that has secured our reputation as a leading facility for the care of our animals.

The Conservator’s Center also suggested this video, which gives a display of the “oofing”..which is not something the average  citizen might get to enjoy….

 

Caswell County hosts several festivals each year:

Bright Leaf Hoedown (late September):

as far as we can determine, the date for 2014 has not been set yet.  We will be posting it on our FB page once available.

  • Casville

Every winter Caswell residents Leon and Ann Paschal decorate their yard and cabins with over a million Christmas lights (approximately 1,040,000 lights in 2004) and miscellaneous decorations. The extravaganza has attracted local and national attention; a news special was even featured on the Fox News Channel in 2005. Gospel music is played throughout the entire display to convey messages of hope and redemption. The attraction is open to the local public and is free of charge; donations help fund the Paschals’ approximate $10,000 electric bill generated by the light show. The couple says they “do it for Jesus because he’s the reason for the season.” (via Wikepedia)
