Freeman Hotel
The hotel building was relocated from the center of downtown to its present site along the Cashie river. In the mid-20th century, this building was first used as a hotel and then as an apartment building. It is the present home of the Windsor/Bertie County Chamber of Commerce, the Roanoke River Partners, and other local non-profit agencies.

A study of the historical figures responsible for their construction and their impact on Bertie County history is also a part of the self-guided tour. A number of 18th and 19th century buildings remain in Windsor and the downtown district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
