National Register of Historic Places (Caswell County, North Carolina)

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the nation's historic places worthy of preservation. The first Caswell County property to be listed in the National Register was the Milton State Bank in April 1973. Since then, two historic districts (Yanceyville and Milton) and twenty-three individual properties have been entered for a total of twenty-five National Register listings in the county. The Union Tavern (Thomas Day workshop) in Milton also has been recognized as a National Historic Landmark. See photograph.
