In the summer and spring, bright flowers surround this white plantation house whose name comes from its location on a horseshoe bend in the The Deep River. The house (ca. 1770) was first owned by Philip Alston, whose band of Whigs was attacked in 1781 by Tories led by David Fanning. Later, four-term North Carolina governor Benjamin Williams lived in the house, which today features fine antiques of the colonial and Revolutionary War eras. Site of a Revolutionary War Battle re-enactment every August. Open Tuesday – Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Closed Sundays, Mondays, and major holidays.
