Aycock Birthplace, Historic house in Wayne County, North Carolina, United States.
Aycock Birthplace is a historic house built in 1840 in Wayne County, showing simple rural construction of the period. The one-story wooden structure features a gable roof and brick chimneys positioned at each end.
Charles Brantley Aycock was born in this house in 1859 and later became the 50th Governor of North Carolina in 1901. His family developed the property over generations as their landholdings grew considerably through the 1800s.
The property tells the story of Governor Aycock's political career and his push for education reform in the state. Today visitors see how this history shaped the region's development and remains part of local memory.
The site is located on Governor Aycock Road in Fremont and can be visited during designated hours on weekdays. Plan your visit in advance since the location is somewhat remote and hours are limited.
Benjamin Aycock, Charles's father, substantially expanded the family estate through land purchases over several decades. This agricultural growth shows how rural properties in the region developed economically during the 1800s.
