Halifax County, North Carolina is home to Native American history and culture in the heart and soul of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe.
The Halifax State Historic Site and surrounding town is home to the adoption of the Halifax Resolves, the first official move for independence from England by any colony. In Roanoke Rapids, you can see the history of local transportation via a navigation canal, power generation and industrial history, all of which are celebrated at the Roanoke Canal Museum and Trail. The town of Weldon was once a railroad hub, and a trestle of the Weldon-Wilmington Railroads, the lifeline of the Confederacy, still stands. African American history is honored at the historic Rosenwald School and the Remembering Tillery Project, a resettlement community.
