Using the old jail as the foundation, the Burgwin-Wright House was built in 1770 by John Burgwin, planter, merchant, and treasurer of the colony of Carolina. In 1781, "the most considerable house in town" was occupied by Lord Cornwallis as his headquarters shortly before his defeat and surrender at Yorktown, Virginia. In 1799, Joshua Grainger Wright purchased the house for 3500 Spanish milled dollars. Occupied as a residence until 1937, it was bought by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the state of North Carolina. Today, the Burgwin-Wright House, beautifully restored, is the oldest museum house in Southeastern North Carolina.]]>

Don Andres Cueto, like many other merchants in Brownsville, immigrated from Spain. Most likely he was headed to Matamoros, but the chaos created from constant revolution led many to settle on the relatively stable north side of the river. Cueto’s first store was catty-corner, and simply named ‘Libertad.’ In 1893, he moved the store and renamed it the ‘new’ Libertad, or ‘La Nueva Libertad.’ Inside was a grocer, pawn shop and bakery. ]]>

Once a private residence on Main Street in Groveport, Ohio, the historic log home was saved by the Groveport Heritage Society and relocated to Heritage Park to make way for a new post office building. Originally, there were two separate buildings; the larger building was constructed in 1815, the smaller in 1825. The restored log house is a source of pride for the community, and is used for a variety of public and private events.]]>
