Rockingham Community College Historical Village

The historical village is comprised of four structures built from the mid 19th century through the early 20th century. The buildings were moved from various locations within Rockingham County to the campus of Rockingham Community College in Wentworth, NC. The structures include a log tobacco factory, a tobacco barn and a corn crib, as well as a one room school house. The village is open to the public during the Rockingham County Folk Festival held in May of each year on the Rockingham Community College campus.
