Pittsboro

Picture
Historic Courthouse before 2010 fire
Located in  Chatham County, North Carolina, Pittsboro was established as a town in 1785.   Pittsboro's historic courthouse and clock tower sits at the center of a traffic circle in downtown Pittsboro.  In March, 2010, fire destroyed a large part of  the courthouse building, which was in the process of a major exterior  renovation.  This resulted in the clock tower collapsing and severe damage to  the tower and the building.  The courthouse will eventually be rebuilt.

An eclectic mix of shops and restaurants line the streets of this quiet little town, and pottery hunters will find potter's studios in and near the area.  Fearrington Village is a community located on a historic farm in Pittsboro.  The  Fearrington Village Center has superb restaurants and fine shops in a modern setting surrounded by cow pastures.

Also in Fearrington Village Center is the upscale Fearrington House Country Inn and Restaurant, featuring fine lodging and dining, beautiful gardens, and offering Southern weddings, corporate retreats and celebrations.   Pittsboro is also home  to the North Carolina Zen Center.  Pittsboro is a short drive from Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill  via routes 64 or 15/501.
