The historic Jacob Holt house in Warrenton is the backdrop for a special community event on Thursday, July 2 of America 250: Warren County’s History. Come out between 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to learn more about how Warren County’s history is woven into the nation’s first 250 years.

The event was planned and sponsored by a committee of Warren County residents and stakeholders including all three municipalities: Warrenton, Norlina and Macon. This is a floating event – so if you can’t come right at 5 p.m. or you can’t stay until 6:30 p.m., no problem! Light refreshments will be provided.

The event will also feature two special videos created by Matthews Creek Productions that bring to life the varied and colorful history of all corners of Warren County. The first video showcases stories from early founding through the creation of Lake Gaston, while the second video weaves those threads of the past together to paint a picture of where the County is headed as we look to the future. Be among the first to see the videos and learn about Warren County’s past, present, and future.

The Jacob Holt house is located at 122 S. Bragg St., Warrenton.
