Historic Robeson, Inc's mission is to maintain and preserve the Proctor Building (the oldest building in Robeson County) and it's surrounding gardens. The preservation and restoration of the building and gardens are vital efforts in promoting the historical process and cultural appreciation of our society
Robeson County is a county in the southern part of the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of the 2020 census, the population was 116,530. Its county seat is Lumberton. The county was formed in 1787 from part of Bladen County. It was named in honor of Col. Thomas Robeson of Tar Heel, a hero of the Revolutionary War.
FULFILLING THE PURPOSE TO PRESERVE HISTORY
The main purpose of Historic Robeson is and always has been to preserve the history of our great County. Over the past few years, part of this effort has included the digitization of a series of documents that has provided further insight into various aspects of our history from the perspective of the people who were a part of it. Thanks to the tireless effort of a few individuals, and the support of UNC Pembroke, we can finally present these pieces of our history. As we continue in our efforts, we are excited about what lies ahead.

After months of planning and anticipation, Historic Robeson is finally finished with our mural dedicated to the long, proud history of Robeson County. The mural was painted by a talented local artist by the name of Lacey Crimes. She took our vision, and with a bit of patience and a massive amount of talent, transformed our vision into a beautiful mural we look forward to showing off. We are grateful for her hard work and to everyone involved in all planning and funding phases of the project.
Special thanks to Lumberton’s Visitors Bureau, the City of Lumberton, and the Robeson County Arts Council for your assistance in making this a reality.
Come on by and take a look.
