Abstract:

Built in 1820, the historic house, Woodbourne, in Guilford County was the home of Calvin Wiley's parents. Wiley was a writer and published a number of books in the mid-19th century. He founded the Southern Weekly Post in Raleigh and the North Carolina Presbyterian in Fayetteville. Elected to the General Assembly in 1850, he helped pass the law establishing the office of state superintendent of common schools and served as the first superintendent from 1852 to 1865.
