Abstract:

Located along the Virginia border, Caswell County lies off the usual tourist routes. However, those who do visit will find a preserved heritage, including the historic courthouse and the National Historic District town of Milton. For years tobacco was a major part of the county's economy, but with tobacco support waning, county officials seek new opportunities to diversify the economic base. Carolina Pinnacle Studios, a filmmaking venture in Yanceyville, is one of the companies the county has attracted.
