Mission Statement
The mission of the Colonial Commission  is to focus upon the colonial and revolutionary era of Kinston-Lenoir County and neighboring counties from which Lenoir County was created from in 1791. It is our aim to raise public awareness and an appreciation of our historical, geographical and  cultural beginnings.

The Colonial Commission is currently working on advocating for the Gov. Richard Caswell Memorial State Historic Site located in Kinston, North Carolina.  Gov. Caswell was the first constitutional governor of North Carolina.  His home was in Kinston and much of the business of state was conducted in the town of Kinston.   If you have an interest in colonial history and would like to volunteer to help with projects please contact
