Edgecombe County Veteran's Military Museum — Attraction in Tarboro

They also have a restroom here if you plan to stay a bit. Currently, they are still renovating and updating parts of the building, so you may not be able to see everything they have to offer just yet, but you still have a lot to digest for now.
