...a
place where people care about both the past and the future and
invite you to come celebrate the best time of all—the present.
 ravel
north, just beyond the bustling urban areas of Raleigh, Durham, and
Chapel Hill, and discover Roxboro in beautiful Person County, NC.
You'll be welcomed with lush rural scenery and warm, small-town
hospitality. Nestled among gently rolling hills perfectly dotted
with forests and farms, Person County offers residents and visitors
alike a chance to enjoy a gentler pace with options for plenty of
activities.
 You'll find live theater and concerts, dance
lessons and performances, biking and hiking trails, fantastic fishing
and boating, a first-rate
history museum and other historic sites, friendly places to
shop, annual community festivals, high-energy school-sponsored events, and
some of the most creative, independent eating spots you've ever
seen! The word "boredom" is not in the local
lexicon.
Established
in 1791 when neighboring Caswell County was cut into two squares, Person
County shares its northern border with the state of Virginia. Its 400
square-miles are home to several rivers, many meadows, Lake Hyco and
Mayo Lake,
two very small mountains, and the headwaters of three basins that
provide clean drinking water to southern and eastern areas of North
Carolina. The town of Roxboro is well known for its rich history and
community spirit. It's a place where people care about both the past and
the future and invite you to come celebrate the best time of all—the
present. |
