Question: What is the oldest house in North Carolina?
Answer: The North Carolina Historic Preservation Office identified the Lane House in Edenton as North Carolina’s oldest home after the Architectural Research Department at Colonial Williamsburg and local historians confirmed the timber used to build the home had tree rings dating back to 1718-1719.
Bonus info: Steve and Linda Lane previously owned the home. After Linda passed away, Steve donated the house with an endowment in her memory to ensure its future as a symbol of Edenton’s history.
