Abstract:
Purchased and passed down by various family members, the Asa Biggs house was sold by its final owners to the Martin County Historical Society. Its size and architectural style reflect Biggs’ growing family and experience with buildings in the New Orleans area. From efforts of citizens and groups, the house reflecting 1840s life is open for public tours. It contains artifacts related to Asa Biggs, Williamston, and Martin County, as well as the Francis M. Manning History and Research Room.

Abstract:
Perhaps no county in North Carolina suffered more intense devastation during the Civil War than Martin County. Foster's Raid occurred on November 2, 1862. According to a contemporary, personal property losses amounted to nearly two million dollars. A battle initiating at Rawles Mill carried on into Williamston with severe wreckage and plunder and the burning of a portion of the town of Hamilton.
