Wilson, North Carolina

The Oliver Nestus Freeman Round House Museum provides insight into contributions of African-American citizens of Wilson. A local non-profit and community volunteers renovated the house, a former residential rental property for returning GIs. Wilson's Redevelopment Program is undertaking aggressive programs to acquire and clear blighted neighborhoods, and to construct new, affordable homes. Seventy-eight (78) homes have been constructed and upon completion of a five-year strategy, 116 new homes will be built. Citizens For A Healthier Wilson is a collaborative community action group that focuses its attention in three main areas: reducing adolescent pregnancies, improving immunization rates for children ages 0-2, and increasing lead screening exams for ages 1-2.
