And Danielle referred us to another minuscule post office up the road in Meredithville! This one in Warfield, (which used to be a railroad town but has since seen a decrease in population which according to statistics from 2024 is now 34) has vintage brass post offices boxes and is neat as a pin!

This modest marker stands with its paint weathered by sun and rain. The lettering takes a moment to…read moredecipher, but that gentle fade almost suits the story it tells. It asks you to imagine an educational institution that disappeared from the landscape long ago, leaving only this quiet plaque to hint at the classrooms, ambitions, and daily routines that once filled the spot. The marker reads, "Littleton College. Chartered in 1883 as Central Institute and in 1887 as Littleton Female College. Burned 1919. Was located here." It is marker number E-28 and it was erected in 1940 by the State Historical Commission. The school was Methodist‑affiliated, created by local leaders for the intellectual, moral, and religious education of young women. Reverend James Manley Rhodes served as its guiding figure, returning in 1889 to expand the campus after briefly leaving for another post. The college offered a two year curriculum in subjects ranging from chemistry and physics to languages and history, and by 1908 it enrolled hundreds of students from across the South and beyond. A devastating fire in January 1919 destroyed most of the buildings, and with Rhodes unable to rebuild, the institution closed. [Review 55 of 2026 - 4534 in North Carolina - 25245 overall]

Northampton County was established in 1741 from part of Bertie County, it was named in honor of…read moreJames Compton, the 5th Earl of Northampton. The county seat, originally called Northampton Courthouse, was renamed Jackson in 1823 to honor Andrew Jackson, then a national hero and soon-to-be president. Before European settlement, the region was home to the Tuscarora and Meherrin tribes. As settlers arrived--primarily English, Scotch-Irish, Scottish, and French Huguenots--many Native Americans were displaced. The Roanoke River, which winds through the county, served as a vital trade route and attracted immigrants with its fertile soil. The historic courthouse was completed in 1858 and is a classic example of the Green Revival design. Its temple-form design faces south and features a commanding prostyle tetrastyle portico supported by fluted Ionic columns. These columns, resting on substantial pedestals that rise from the high foundation, lend the building a monumental presence. The current modern courthouse was completed between 2022 and 2024 and stands a short distance from the historic 1858 Greek Revival Courthouse. They share the address. It is a modern two-story building composed of red brick, glass, and concrete, with a flat roofline and clean, geometric lines. Inside, the courthouse houses both the County Superior Court and County District Court for the 6th Judicial District, which includes neighboring Bertie, Halifax, and Hertford counties.
