A Honor Guard protects the North Carolina Bill of Rights. They are wearing colonial-style uniforms. For a few weeks, the document was displayed in various places throughout North Carolina, including here, at the historic Chowan County Courthouse in Edenton, North Carolina. It is the oldest courthouse in North Carolina that is still receiving some use. It was used as a courthouse until 1999, but now serves as a place for public meetings.
