I’m a huge history buff and if you’re itching for a dose of historical NC charm too, North Carolina’s got your back with some seriously cool spots that will take you back in time.
I’ve personally been to Biltmore Estate and Fort fisher more times than I can count.
The NC Lighthouses and the Wright Brothers Memorial have been part of my family vacations, and I’ve seen the USS Battleship on many field trips as a chaperone.
I’m thrilled to get to share them with you so you can make memories and learn about the evolution of NC! So, pack your bags and get ready for a history-packed adventure.
