Built around 1790, the Davenport Homestead
in eastern Washington County is listed on the National Register of
Historic Properties and is the oldest surviving homestead open to
public in the region.
The building first housed the family of Daniel Davenport, Washington
County’s first representative to the North Carolina Senate. Both the
original home and a collection of outbuildings have been furnished
with pieces that tell a visual story of life in Washington County in
the years following the American Revolution.
