Warrenton, the county seat, was officially established in 1779 and many of the town’s houses from that time still remain and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
While the towns of Warren County may be small in size, residents are passionate about preserving the community, filling the historic streets with restaurants, cafes, and breweries — and a distillery. In between the towns and along the county’s borders, residents enjoy outdoor recreation thanks to Kerr Lake, Lake Gaston, Buck Spring Park, and more.
