Abstract:

There are a number of historic houses around Littleton, North Carolina but two are of special interest. The home of Dr. Charles Skinner is of special acclaim for those interested in the history of the medical practice in North Carolina; Skinner offered his medical knowledge to young men who could not afford to attend college at his home, where the men even stayed on his property. Additionally, \"Old Ordinary\" is a tavern that was considered the center of the masculine social life of Littleton.
