DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars for April 25th\, 2025 for the first officia
 l Washington County event in 2026 to commemorate America's 250th anniversa
 ry! The America 250 NC Washington County 250th Committee and the Washingto
 n County Historical Society at the Daniel Davenport Festival have come tog
 ether to commemorate the lives of Revolutionary War Soldiers.\n\nThere wil
 l be living history demonstrations\, including ropemaking\, examples of so
 ldiers' rations and their equipment\, camp cooking\, and others. Period mu
 sicians will provide musical performances. Other presentations include med
 icine during the American Revolution\, and the Tyrrell County Men who serv
 ed in the American Revolution\, since Washington County was not officially
  established until 1799.\n\nTours of the main house and its assorted build
 ings\, which illustrate 18th-century life\, including a corn crib\, smokeh
 ouse\, and a building for the loom\, have been arranged. The Homestead is 
 on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a rare but fine example
  of a late 18th-century yeoman farmer's dwelling\, and it remains in nearl
 y original condition\, despite the fact that the descendants of Davenport 
 lived in the house until the mid-1970s without making any modern improveme
 nts. A truly unique gem in the region.\n\nThe Sons of the American Revolut
 ion are holding a recognition and wreath-laying ceremony\, including infor
 mation about Daniel Davenport's six-month service in the NC 5th Regiment a
 nd his legacy in Washington County\, at 2:00 pm. Local school children wil
 l sing as part of the ceremony.\n\nPlease note: The celebration festival i
 s free\, but the food truck on site is not. In addition\, the Homestead do
 es not have a specific address. It is located on Mount Tabor Road in Cresw
 ell on the corner of State Route 1143 and 1146. If coming from the directi
 on of Creswell\, it is on the road to the right after a sharp curve at the
  Mount Tabor Free Will Baptist Church. You can also use Google Maps\, Dave
 nport Homestead\, Creswell\, NC. It will take you there. Please email Chri
 s Barber with any questions.
