Built in 1932, the Warren County Fire Tower was the first State Division of Forestry lookout in North Carolina to be staffed by a female observer -- Mrs. Bessie Haithcock. Her husband, Earlie, helped construct the tower on land that was part of his farm and staffed it until his passing. Located at the Bessie Haithcock Forestry Center, the 100, Aermotor tower was in active use through 1990. The interior has been restored and is maintained as a historic exhibit.
