Abstract:
Placed on the Town Common in the late 1930s to preserve it, the press is believed to be one of the last surviving devices if its kind in North Carolina and possibly the South as a whole. In the1850s, Edgecombe County was the leading producer of cotton in North Carolina. The Tarboro Press was originally located on the Norfleet Plantation.
