Abstract:

Governor Montford Stokes, one of North Carolina's early governors, built Morne Rouge in 1830. Located near Wilkesboro, it was known in its times as one of the state's most famous mansions. Today it is in a bad state of repair, but many indications of its former grandeur can still be seen.
