Historic Halifax

Historic Halifax presents an incredible opportunity to explore many different colonial-era structures that played an important role in American History. On April 12, 1776, North Carolina became the first colony to officially recommend independence from British rule by adopting the Halifax Resolves. This event was considered a crucial step towards the United States declaring its independence. Many of the buildings are open for self-guided tours during open hours, with the buildings being spread out on multiple streets. It really is impressive how many historic structures the Historic Site manages, which includes the Monfort Archaeology Museum, Burgess Law Office, Eagle Tavern (which features a number of fantastic exhibits), Owens House, Clerks Office, Sally-Billy House, Jail, a Visitor Center, and a nearby Underground Railroad Trail.
