"The Oliver Nestus Freeman Round House is a museum featuring the artifacts that depict the culture and contributions of African Americans to the history and development of Wilson. The house was built in 1946 by Freeman who was a noted local black stone mason. He built the Freeman residence and other houses to help alleviate the housing shortage for GI's returning from the war. Freeman built a round house that is said to be made of stone. The house is actually built of variety of materials including bottles, tree sapplings, and string."

| He also built lots of other thing out of concrete, like this dinosaur. |

| The museum attendant gave us a informative talk about Mr. Freeman, his house and other important black people of the early 20th century. |
