Warren Bingham is a native of Mount Gilead, NC and now resides in Raleigh; he has lived his entire life in North Carolina and Virginia and is an enthusiastic student of American and Southern history, culture, architecture, and landscape.
He shares this interest through speaking and writing, and has presented to a variety of groups on topics in history since 1991. Additionally, he has been published in a number of newspapers and specialty journals, as well as reference books by UNC Press.
Presently he works full time on My Kind of Southern Tour, a book that revisits George Washington’s 1791 presidential visit to Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia. The book will be published in a joint venture by the Center for American Places, a publisher in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the University of Chicago Press and will be for general readers.
A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill with a master’s degree from Hollins University in Virginia, Warren now spends considerable time at Peace College in Raleigh, where his wife Laura is president.
