Manteo

Drawing on the waters of the Roanoke Sound and Shallowbag Bay for

about as charming a waterfront downtown as you could hope to
find anywhere. In this Outer Banks town, bookstores are stocked with
pirate lore and seafaring history, galleries are filled with the shapes and
colors of the marsh and sea, and restaurants serve up delicious plates
of fresh seafood. Whether youre picking out the best ingredients at the

guard the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean,
Intracoastal Waterway and Cape Fear River.
Take in the sights at Waterfront Park, then
take a short walk to the boutiques,
antique stores and restaurants that

a plate of fresh shrimp on the water. You
can also spend the afternoon touring movie
locations and historic sites around town.
Be sure to pick up a treasure to take home
from Southports many shops and galleries.
d.

Blowing Rock

Perched high in the Blue Ridge Mountains,

Blowing Rock is nothing short of stunning.
In fact, its been called North Carolinas
Prettiest Town. Artists love Blowing Rock,
so its no surprise that there are a number
of galleries and craft studios selling

Southport has a wide array of interesting shops.

Chapel Hill

If theres a college nearby, you can count on finding

a vibrant downtown. Chapel Hill, home of the University
of North Carolina, is no exception. Walk the campus
its beautiful, especially in the spring but leave time
to explore Franklin Street. Dining options are seemingly
limitless no matter what you are craving. The same goes
for bars youll have your choice of college hangouts, local
dives or exclusive establishments like The Crunkleton.
Shopping includes avant-garde art galleries, vintage
clothing stores, chic boutiques and everything in between.

Dillsboro

The quaint town of Dillsboro, located in the Smoky

Mountains, has been a tourist town since the early
1900s. Situated on the Tuckaseigee River, Dillsboro
offers visitors a wonderful collection of shops, galleries,
inns and restaurants in century-old buildings. One event
thats kept people coming back for a quarter-century
is the Easter Hat Parade, a stroll through town where
the best and most creative hats are on display.
h.

Elizabeth City

One visit to Elizabeth City and you will understand how

it earned the nickname the Harbor of Hospitality. From
friendly locals at the weekly waterfront market to smiling
shopkeepers, youll find welcoming faces at every turn,
but none as warm as youll find at the wharf. Here, the
Rose Buddies greet boaters with wine, cheese, roses
and recommendations on what to do, where to go
and how to enjoy your time in Elizabeth City.

j.

Salisbury

Salisbury is more than the birthplace of Cheerwine. Its a

town where arts, culture and community combine in ways
they dont often do today. Its also the home of the North
Carolina Transportation Museum, where you can learn more
about the importance of trains to the towns history. Walk
along Main Street and youll pass galleries, bookstores and
boutiques in turn-of-the-century buildings and restaurants
in storefronts and former banks. History is alive and well
here, with 10 National Register Historic Districts
containing more than 1,200 properties.
k.

Mount Airy

Andy Griffith grew up in Mount Airy, so if you think this

delightful downtown reminds you of Mayberry, youre
right. Take a tour of the town in a Mayberry squad car, enjoy
the Andy Griffith Museum or just make your way from store
to store on your own time. The Bluebird Diner and Snappy
Lunch are excellent lunch spots. There are plenty of antique
stores, too, but leave time to pay a visit to the historic Earle
Theatre, where you can catch a movie or, better yet, the
Saturday jam session and live radio broadcast of WPAQs
Merry-Go-Round show.

outdoor seating, where you can relax and enjoy a meal,
a cup of coffee or a conversation without being rushed.

Bennett Place

Who knew a simple farmhouse in the country near Durham

would be a place of such historical importance 150 years
later? The Civil War ended 17 days after Gen. Robert E.
Lees surrender at Appomattox in 1865 at Bennett Place
in Durham. There, Union Gen. William T. Sherman and
Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston met to negotiate
the end of the War Between the States and arrange for
the largest troop surrender of the conflict. Twice a year in
late April and early September reenactors descend on
Bennett Place for an impressive living-history display
on the site where the Bennetts reconstructed farmhouse
and outbuildings stand. Guided and self-guided tours
around the farm and along the trails crisscrossing the
homestead give detailed accounts of the surrender and let
you experience the farm much as the soldiers encamped
nearby would have in 1865.

Many of North Carolinas attractions offer opportunities
to learn more through firsthand experiences.

c. International Civil Rights

Center & Museum

Located in the former F. W. Woolworth

store in downtown Greensboro, the
International Civil Rights Center &
Museum honors the courage and
legacy of the Greensboro Four four
college students who began Americas
sit-in movement by refusing to leave
a whites only lunch counter here. See
the original stretch of counter where
their protest began, as well as striking
photos and artifacts that span the
Civil Rights Movement.

Cradle of Forestry in America

f.

Lighthouses

Wherever you go on the Coast, youre

not far from a lighthouse. Some, like the
Oak Island and Ocracoke lighthouses,
arent open to the public, but others
Bald Head Islands Old Baldy, Cape
Lookout, Cape Hatteras, Bodie Island
and Currituck Beach lighthouses
are open for climbing. Old Baldy is the
oldest in the state and the shortest
one you can climb. Cape Hatteras Light,
with its distinctive black-and-white
spiral, is the tallest. All of them offer
the opportunity to learn more
about the states maritime history
and take in the tremendous views.

The Cradle of Forestry in America,

founded by German forester Dr. Carl
Schenck, was the first school to
scientifically study forestry. Today,
visitors to the attraction in Pisgah
National Forest can experience a
firefighting helicopter simulator, crawl
underground to understand more about
the animals that dwell in the dirt or
simply take a hike on more than 2 miles
of trails through the pristine woods
here. The 6,500-acre historic
site periodically also features
demonstrations of traditional
Appalachian crafts.
e.

Oconaluftee Indian Village

At Oconaluftee Indian Village in Cherokee,

its like you entered a time machine and
emerged in a 1760 Cherokee settlement.
Here, the period-authentic homes,
interpreters in the dress of their
ancestors, and artisans practicing
arts such as weaving, pottery
and woodcarving using traditional
techniques add to the authenticity.
But its the reenactments that bring
it all to life. At the Square Grounds
in the village center, youll see (and
participate in) traditional dances,
hear Cherokee myths and legends,
and learn more about the Cherokee
tribe than any history book can teach.

Fort Macon

Atlantic Beachs Fort Macon has overlooked the

waters of the Crystal Coast since the 1820s, guarding
this stretch of coast and the surrounding inlets from
naval attack. A young Robert E. Lee was stationed in
this five-sided fort and gun emplacement, and the fort
was an important strategic position in the Civil
War. It even hosted a garrison during World War IIs
U-boat scare. Tour the fort and walk the grounds
or, better yet, pay a visit when Civil War reenactors

a wood stove and even cutting grass with a scythe.
In the farmhouse, tobacco barn, corn crib, washhouse
and other assorted utility buildings around the farm,
you can get a deeper understanding of North
Carolinas rural past.
l.

Hamlet Depot & Museums

In the Sandhills town of Hamlet, the Hamlet Depot &

Museums take you back to the 1900s, when passenger
trains were the transportation mode du jour. The
Seaboard Air Line Railway built the beautiful depot to
serve its passengers here, and today it serves as both
a museum and Amtrak station. Exhibits and displays
include a Tornado Locomotive Replica, model railroad
and a number of other hands-on elements.

North Carolina History Center

Adjacent to Tryon Palace in New Bern is the

North Carolina History Center, an impressive
museum that delivers a history lesson in novel,
memorable ways. Costumed interpreters bring
history to life, and multimedia displays invite

Outdoor Action
If youre an adventure-seeker or just enjoy the open air,
then pack your bags for a trip like no other.

a.

Ziplining

Speeding through forests is nothing short of exhilarating, and

North Carolina is home to more ziplines than anywhere
in the East. In the Smoky Mountains, zip over the Nantahala
Gorge in Bryson City or the Green River Gorge near Saluda.
Navitat Canopy Adventures will have you up in the clouds near
Asheville. Kersey Valley Zip Line aerial tours in Archdale boasts
one of the longest closed-course ziplines in the country. Across
the Piedmont, places like ZipQuest in Fayetteville will take you
into piney woods and hardwood forests.

Golf

Say North Carolina to golfers, and they

immediately think Pinehurst. The legendary
Pinehurst No. 2 was home to both the mens and
womens 2014 U.S. Open Championships, held

courses in the Piedmont worth teeing up include
The Grandovers East or West courses and Pine
Needles or Mid Pines golf clubs. In the Mountains,
courses like The Omni Grove Park Inns course or
Sequoyah National Golf Club combine mountain
views with challenging holes. Along the Coast,
from the Outer Banks to the Brunswick Isles,
you can play at courses like Tigers Eye Golf Links
and The Currituck Club almost any day of the year,

c.

Fishing

Anglers love North Carolinas waters for obvious

reasons, but trout fishing and a visit to the
Gulf Stream are two of the biggest draws.
Try casting a line with your fly rod along
the Western North Carolina Fly Fishing
Trail (the only one of its kind in the nation).
Largemouth bass, especially, beckon at
Lake Gaston, along with catfish and bluegill.
Along the Coast, speckled trout offer an
angling challenge among the marsh grass,
but the real coastal challenge is a few
miles away the Gulf Stream. Tuna
and sailfish await along this warm-water
current that flows as close as 35 miles
from shore.

Hiking

The Eastern Continental Divide runs along the peaks of

the Blue Ridge Mountains, and at Bearwallow Mountain,
you can hike to the summit and take in views on either

Whats a good Southern meal

(especially fried chicken or
barbecue) without collards?
These cabbage-like greens
are celebrated each
September at the Ayden
Collard Festival. This four-day
festival started in 1975 and
includes a pageant, parade,
art show, rides, road race and,
of course, collards. Theres
a collard-eating contest and
a collard-cooking contest, but
its also a chance for people
to come together to celebrate
not to mention its the
official collard festival of
the state of North Carolina.

The first North Carolina

Watermelon Festival took
place in 1985 and is now
a highly anticipated event.

b. North Carolina
Watermelon Festival

Is there a summertime treat

more perfect than a ripe
watermelon? Youll find the
answer, along with watermelon
seed-spitting contests and the
crowning of the Watermelon
Princess, at the North Carolina
Watermelon Festival in
Murfreesboro in mid-summer.
Youll also find tables, trucks
and trailers loaded down with
the best watermelons from
miles around, and farmers
who can help you pick the
perfect one to take home.
c. Brushy Mountain
Apple Festival

Early in October, the Brushy

Mountain Apple Festival,
one of the largest artsand-crafts festivals in
the Southeast, transforms
sleepy North Wilkesboro into

Lexington Barbecue Festival

In late October, the town of Lexington shows everybody why

its called the Barbecue Capital of the World. The annual
barbecue festival draws more than 125,000 visitors who
mingle in the vibrant downtown with the scent of smoke and
sauce in the air. Few things are as divisive as barbecue for
North Carolinians. Some swear by whole-hog barbecue with a
dash of vinegar sauce; others live by shoulders and a sweeter,
tomato-based sauce. In Lexington, the two forms combine
to make the Lexington Dip, a sort of tangy, sweet sauce into
which you dip your cue. No matter if your favorite style is
Eastern, Western or somewhere in between, at Lexingtons
Barbecue Festival, youll find a plate that satisfies every palate.

When it comes to yams (or sweet potatoes for some of

you), North Carolina is second to none, producing more
yams per year than any other state. In Smithfield, they
take their yams seriously, but not too seriously, at the
Smithfield Ham & Yam Festival. It all started in 1985 and
has been going strong ever since. Youre likely to find yams
in every shape and form, from french fries and pies to
biscuits and art (yes, art, in the kids yam art contest).
f.

Christmas in July Festival

Ashe County is known for its Christmas tree farms, and each
July, they get into the holiday spirit and celebrate the
season when theres little chance of snow. West Jefferson
is a carnival of Christmas celebrants, Christmas tree
growers and lovers, artists, craftspeople, food vendors,
and live bluegrass and old-time music. But what would a
Christmas in July Festival be without a visit from Santa and
Mrs. Claus? Theyre here, too, but to find out if theyre in
their winter attire or something more comfortable, youll
need to come see for yourself!

h.

Farmers Markets

In every county and almost every town, youll find at least

one farmers market. Asheville may lay claim to the most,
with more than 17 farmers markets and tailgate markets
located around the city. There are four state farmers markets
that are operated by the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture & Consumer Services, and Wilmington boasts
four farmers markets and several other tailgate markets.
It doesnt really matter what you crave flowers,
produce, honey or pasture-raised beef if its
in season, youll find it at the farmers market.

A seafood combo platter with crab cakes, fried shrimp,

slaw and steamed broccoli is a staple at Sammys
Seafood House & Oyster Bar in Morehead City.

You wont want to miss a visit to the local farmers market,

where youll find some of the states best produce.

CIVIL WAR in
the mountains
Secession and war divided western
North Carolinians, and neighbors
and families quickly came to blows
as angry words gave way to fists
and guns. North Carolinas Civil War
history is rich with stories, and
visiting the locations where these
stories took place brings a better
understanding of that time in
American history.
While in Asheville, visit the SmithMcDowell House, once home to
W.W. McDowell, who organized the
Buncombe Riflemen, the first group
of Confederate volunteers from
western North Carolina. During the
course of the war, the house was
visited by Union troops.
Dont miss Riverside Cemetery,
final resting place of former North
Carolina Gov. Zebulon B. Vance,
the Civil War Governor of the
South, who served in the
Confederate Army and was later
imprisoned and pardoned. In the
same cemetery lies James Harrison
Posey, one of President Abraham
Lincolns bodyguards during the
Civil War. Walking tours are available
and can offer a unique journey into
Ashevilles past.
William Thomas, the only white man
to ever be chief of the Cherokee,
organized both Cherokee and white
mountain men to form Thomas
Legion, which was never defeated
by Union troops. When Union troops
occupied Waynesville in May 1865,
the legion and other Confederates
surrounded them and demanded
they surrender, which they did.
However, upon learning the war had
ended a month earlier, they all laid
down their arms and went home.
Union Gen. George Stonemans
raiders were camped near the
Hickory Nut Gorge when they
learned of Confederate Gen. Joseph
Johnstons surrender in Durham.
They were ordered to pursue
Confederate President Jefferson
Davis when he fled the state. In
Cashiers, youll find the ZacharyTolbert House, whose owner had
strong Confederate ties, serving in
Thomas Legion. His brother and
neighbor, though, felt differently,
helping escaped Union prisoners.

CIVIL WAR in
the piedmont
After Federal forces occupied most
of North Carolinas barrier islands
and coastline in 1862, they attacked
the states railroads, factories and
naval facilities.
The Museum of the Cape Fear
Historical Complex in Fayetteville
preserves remains of the
Fayetteville arsenal, which
manufactured and repaired
weapons for the Confederacy
before being destroyed by Gen.
William Shermans troops.
The river port in Eden, along the
Dan River, was an important link for
the Confederate lifeline, as the area
offered rich farmland and raw
materials. Kittrells location at a
railroad junction made it a good
spot for a wartime hospital. Gen.
Sherman and part of his army
camped at the Laurel Hill Church in
Laurinburg. While they were ordered
to deal moderately and fairly with
citizens, this didnt prevent soldiers
from leaving graffiti in the church.
Bentonville Battlefield, near Four
Oaks, was the site of the largest
battle fought in the state. It turned
out to be the final major offensive
by Confederate troops and, after
their defeat, there was no choice
but surrender.
After Bentonville, Confederate
leadership made their way to
Bennett Place in Durham. In this
farmhouse, Gen. Sherman accepted
the surrender papers of Southern
armies from North Carolina to
Florida, the largest troop surrender
of the war.
Known as the Last Headquarters of
the Confederacy, the Alexander
Dickson House in Hillsborough was
the headquarters of Confederate
Gen. Wade Hampton and the scene
of many important meetings. It still
has an 18th- and 19th-century
medicinal and herbal garden.
The Greensboro Historical Museum
has a firearms collection of more
than 150 long arms from every
major Confederate armory, in
addition to other Confederate
artifacts in its permanent collection.

CIVIL WAR on the coast

The coast of North Carolina, with its
numerous waterways, was valuable
to both sides during the war.
Union Gen. Ben Butler launched
attacks at Confederate-manned forts
near Hatteras, while Gen. Ambrose
Burnside gained control of Roanoke
Island and, farther south, New Bern.
After his famous March to the Sea,
Gen. William Sherman turned his
eyes toward North Carolina, with
his main objective the railroad
junction at Goldsboro. The Wayne
County Museum features local
relics from both sides and a
diorama of the Battle of Goldsboro
in 1862.
The Roanoke Canal in Roanoke
Rapids helped bring goods to
Weldon, an important rail link. The
Dismal Swamp Canal at South Mills
was an important supply artery to
Confederates in the area, but also
served as an escape route for slaves
seeking freedom.
The Port OPlymouth Museum in
Plymouth honors the Confederate
ironclad CSS Albemarle. The Battle
of Plymouth was the last major
Confederate victory in the state.
The Museum of the Albemarle
and Elizabeth Citys many Civil War
Trail markers tell the story of A
Town Divided.
In Kinston, start at the Blue & Gray
Information Center to learn about
the First Battle of Kinston via a
12-stop driving tour, and visit the
remains of the CSS Neuse ironclad.

Museum in Hatteras details the

and the sinking of the USS Monitor.
Fort Macon State Park, where a
major battle took place in 1862,

ranger-guided tours, not to mention

Beach, built between the Atlantic
Ocean and the Cape Fear River,

Wilmington. Some of the original
fort remains, and exhibits trace the
history of the campaign and battles.

Escape to Topsail Island, coastal Carolinas

hidden treasure. While here, dine with live
pirates, babysit a sea turtle nest, capture a
sunset, savor island flavor, dig up the past, and
surf, paddleboard or deep-sea fish your heart
out. Nestled just north of Wilmington, your next
vacation is begging to be discovered.
