Wilson Fulton House and Stokes County Bank
The 1859 Wilson Fulton House is one of the oldest brick structures still standing in the Historic District of the town of Danbury, NC. It is owned and has been restored by the Stokes County Historical Society to be used as the Stokes County Historical Museum. The 1905 Bank of Stokes County building located to the left of the house is also owned by the Historical Society and is undergoing restoration.

This historic brick house was built in the late 1850's by Wilson Fulton, a Stokes County tanner and merchant. Located in the Danbury Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 150-plus year-old house is one of the oldest brick structures still existing in Stokes County.
The Stokes County Historical Society owns the house and has completed its restoration. The house serves as a local and regional historical museum and a center for genealogical research.
 
The existence of a museum in Stokes County promotes historical interest and preservation by providing future generations an opportunity to learn about the past. It conveys the message to our children that the people of Stokes County care about their history, and that they care about preserving their heritage.
In order for this project to remain a reality, the Historical Society needs the continuing support of the citizens of Stokes and surrounding counties as well as the support of local governments and businesses. We ask that you get involved, have a voice in your local history, and support the Stokes County Historical Museum.
