Chatham County Historical Association Museum

Join us for a step back in time! A member of the Chatham County Historical Association Museum committee will lead us on a walking tour that highlights Pittsboro’s rich heritage and unique character. The tour will begin in the historic Chatham County Courthouse, a Greek revival structure built in 1881, which has been the center of town life for over a century. We will then begin a guided walk through the Pittsboro Historic District, a designated area filled with homes, churches, and storefronts dating from the early to mid-19th century. Throughout the tour our guide will share anecdotes and historical details, including the establishment of the town, early commercial activities, and social, family, and church life. We invite you to connect with the past to appreciate Pittsboro's unique history and preservation. The tour will last about an hour or so.
Following the tour, we will gather for lunch at the West End Kitchen, a short walk on West St. Free parking is available in the West St. lot near the traffic circle. Lunch will be your own.
