The Governor Caswell Memorial pays tribute to North Carolina’s first State governor. The Memorial houses artifacts from the Revolutionary War time period. There are reproductions of items to portray the life and times of Governor Richard Caswell. As a governor he was a man of great renown. The exhibits also tell about his life before and after being a governor including his family, his town, military career and business life. The location of the memorial was once part of the “Red House” Plantation that was once owned by the Caswell family. The only thing that remains from the original plantation is the family cemetery that is owned by the Mosely-Bright Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and administered by the State Historic Site.
