right next to the market was the “Occaneechi Village”, a replica of a native american village which lived in the hillsborough area before being displaced by settlers.

took a walk through town and passed by some historic homes, mainly from the 1800′s. some had famous ex-owners, for example we passed by the home (not the one in photo) of one of the signers of the declaration of independence!
