Located in the heart
of North Carolina, only a few hours drive from the picturesque Blue Ridge and
Great Smoky Mountains to the west and the scenic coastal beaches to the east. A
city with true small town charm that offers visitors and residents alike an
array of activities; take a tour at one of the many new vineyards and wineries
in the area, visit a train depot built in the 1800's, tour the historical
district, take a ride on the restored 1906 Dentzel carousel or walk a
battleground from the 1700's.
