About Winslow House - Trinity Historic Preservation Society

The Trinity Historic Preservation Society maintains the Winslow House as a museum and headquarters in Trinity, North Carolina. Built in 1855 by Joseph and Mary Ann Leak, the house retains high structural integrity with period furnishings representing its full history. Visitors can tour the Winslow House and explore displays of non-household items significant to Trinity's heritage, including artifacts relating to the community's railroad history. The property also includes the Trinity Train Depot Warehouse, originally constructed after the rail line began operation in 1889 and later expanded by the Richardson Manufacturing Company, which produced furniture there. The society hosts regular meetings at the Winslow House, welcomes prospective members, and presents programs on local history and heritage preservation. The collection traces Trinity's development from its mid-1830s origins through its industrial era. The site appeals to visitors interested in local history, architecture, and the cultural heritage of rural North Carolina communities.
