Historic Windsor. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Windsor was first known as Gray's Landing
in the early 1700s. Over 250 years of history can be found in its Historic District, including the Bertie County
Courthouse, (c.1887) and the Freeman Hotel (c.1840), a Greek Rivival building and currently the home to the
Windsor-Bertie County Chamber of Commerce. Other sites include St. Thomas Episcopal Church (c.1839), The
Gray-Gillam and J.B. Gillam Houses (c.1790), and Windsor Castle (c.1858).
Windsor is listed in the Civil War Discovery Trail. A marker in the Park at Gray's Landing commemorates the Skirmish at Windsor when Union gunboats dispatched from Plymouth entered the town in the early hours of January 30, 1864 , and faced a small regiment from the 42nd Georgia Calvary.
