Harmony Hall was made the office of state after Governor Richard Caswelll , NC first constitutional governor, moved state records from New Bern to Kinston to be saved from the British. Kinston was the home of Governor Caswell and he conducted many affairs of state from this lovely home During the Civil War the town at various times was occupied by either the Confederate or Union soldiers. The home was used as a hospital after the First Battle of Kinston and the Battle of Wyse Fork. For most of the war the Peebles Family hosted many dinner parties for the Confederate officers that served in the area and soldiers were often seen going and coming from the residence. On the ground of Harmony Hall you will also find a one-room schoolhouse that was built about 1900. The school is furnished with desk, books and other items from by gone days.
