Caswell County Courthouse, Yanceyville

This graceful 1861 courthouse, completed at the outbreak of the War Between the States, survives as a spirited example of early Victorian public architecture. The old structure harbors many stories, one of which is about the life and death of Sen. John W. "Chicken" Stephens, a much-maligned reconstruction politician who was murdered in a first-floor room-allegedly by the Ku Klux Klan. The Caswell County Courthouse is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
