Both the Richmond Miles Museum and the Yanceyville Museum of Art had a stream of visitors many of which were first timers. Whiskers Stitching and The Caswelll Mercantile were also open. Others visited CoSquare for a tour and Evelyn's was open for lunch for the day. Join us on July 10 for the next Second Saturday event!

Caswell County Community Arboretum
In 1997, a small group of volunteers gathered together with the common vision of making Yanceyville, NC great again. The result of that vision was the formation of the Caswell Horticulture Club (CHC). The mission of the club was, and still is today, to preserve, beautify, and historically restore the gardens in downtown Yanceyville. One of their primary projects is the Arboretum. Located located behind the historic courthouse, it includes a walkway through a beautiful garden of plants and flowers.
Since its inception, the CHC has also created and maintains the Court Square, the Memorial Path, the Memorial Garden, the Veterans’ Walk, the Courthouse Garden, and the Fallen Officer’s Garden. All areas are open year round and there is no fee to visit.

“Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots — but you have to play the ball where it lies.” Bobby Jones
Although an amateur golfer, Bobby Jones helped design the Augusta National Golf Club and co-founded the Masters Tournament. His famous quote addresses the parallels of golf and life. Whether you are a golfer or not, you may find several character traits that are required for a life of success are also evident and fine-tuned as one pursues the game of golf.
