History
The land was historically the home of the Tuscarora people. Today, there are Tuscarora residents living in the village of Tandequemuc, now called Merry Hill.
Bertie County Courthouse, Bertie Memorial Hospital, Elmwood, Freeman Hotel, Hope Plantation, Jordan House, King House, Liberty Hall, Rosefield, and Windsor Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2013, Windsor was the subject of a documentary film, If You Build It, chronicling a year in the life of an innovative Bertie County design-based high school program, culminating with the design and sixteen-week construction of an open air pavilion for a farmers market in Windsor — the only farmers market pavilion in the U.S. designed and built by high school students. The pavilion was constructed adjacent the Roanoke/Cashie River Center at 11407 Windsor Blvd, Windsor (alternatively 12 West Water Street, Windsor) and as of 2025 is managed by the Good Shephard Food Pantry. It is generally open on Fridays, May through August, and works with the River Center for special events, including an annual fireworks celebration.
