Dear Friends, Welcome to North Carolina. This years North Carolina Travel Guide offers a wealth of information on the many unforgettable attractions that make our state a favorite year-round travel destination.

If you would rather step back and enjoy the fresh air and quiet, try paddling along a mountain river. Bike along the rolling hills of the Piedmont, step into the past at our historic sites or relax on a beach at the Coast. These are the simple pleasures those that create lasting memories without costing a lot of money. As you travel the Tar Heel State, I encourage you to experience the best that we have to offer.

Zipping Right Along

Few experiences compare to swooshing through North Carolinas lush treetops on a zipline. The states mountainous landscape creates an ideal backdrop for zipline and canopy tour attractions, more than a dozen of which can be found throughout the Mountains and the Piedmont regions of the state. The eco-adventure begins by being strapped into a secure harness hooked to industrial-strength cables. Propelled by your body weight, you glide at invigorating heights and speeds between platforms placed high in the trees, truly giving you a birds-eye view of North Carolinas beautiful outdoors. Fayettevilles ZipQuest Waterfall & Treetop Adventure was named among USA Todays 10 Great Ziplines Across the USA in 2010, as was Navitat Canopy Adventures near Asheville.

CIVIL WAR COMMEMORATION DOCUMENTS THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
STORY BY DEBORAH HUSO
BREAKING THE
s the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War moves into its second year, visitors to North Carolina will find a host of historic sites, battlefields, museums and events focusing on stories of the states slaves and Freedmen, many of whom rendered service and sacrifice on both sides of the battle lines. You cannot tell the story of the war without telling the story of slavery,
says Keith Hardison, director of North Carolinas State Historic Sites and co-chair of the North Carolina Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee. It was at the end of 1862 that President Abraham Lincoln began to draft the Emancipation Proclamation, a document designed to not only deprive the Confederacy of valuable slave labor, but to address what to do with slaves who were escaping to Federal lines in North Carolina as Union forces began taking control of the eastern portion of the state. We interpret the role of African-Americans from 1861 to 1865 slaves, troops, Freedmen and contraband, Hardison says. And many of those who served as troops in the Union Army earned their own freedom. Most of the state historic sites are dedicated to telling full, well-rounded stories that include the African-American experience.

CIvIL WAR TRAILS PRoGRAM ADDS NEW SITES

The Civil War Trails program has installed more than 1,200 interpretive markers at sites in North Carolina, Maryland, Tennessee, virginia and West virginia. Driving tours follow major campaigns. In the past year alone, 60 new sites have been added in North Carolina, many of which relate to the states African-American heritage. In addition to telling the African-American story in North Carolina, we are thrilled to be sharing the even lesserknown Native American and Quaker stories here, says Mitch Bowman, who founded the program In new Bern, for example, you can learn about William Henry Singleton, who escaped slavery and fled to join the union Army. In his book, Recollections of My Slavery Days, Singleton described recruiting and training black troops and meeting President Abraham Lincoln. Travel to Elizabeth City, where new signage recounts the story of the 1st u.S. Colored Troops, who were part of the garrison that occupied the city for 10 days in 1863. There they suppressed guerilla activity and recruited black troops for the union Army. The story of Alamance Countys occaneechi Indians, who, by law, could not serve in the military but were employed as foragers, teamsters and servants for Confederate soldiers, is now a part of the trails program. The county also has a Civil War Trails marker at the Cane Creek Meeting House, a Quaker church, whose anti-war beliefs attracted acts of violence by neighbors. In Waynesville, visit Col. William Thomass final resting place at Green Hill Cemetery. Thomas was the only white man to serve as a Cherokee chief. His legion of Cherokees and mountain people prevented union occupation of western North Carolina. Thomas was the subject of North Carolina author Charles Fraziers Thirteen Moons. Frazier also wrote the best-selling novel Cold Mountain, which was made into a feature film starring Jude Law, Nicole kidman and Rene Zellweger. To learn more, go to www.civilwartrails.org.

the first group of Confederate volunteers from western North Carolina. Avery joined Company D of the 40th U.S. Colored Infantry following the liberation of Ashevilles slave population by Stonemans Raiders in 1865. When the newly free Avery returned to McDowells house a year after the close of the war, the McDowell family provided him land and lumber for building a house, as well as a job as a cemetery caretaker a post he held until his death at age 96. Visitors can learn more about Avery and slavery in western North Carolina, where there are exhibits on both the regions Civil War history and Averys personal story.

North Carolinas state historic sites, seven of which are directly related to the Civil War, will be placing a special emphasis on slavery and freedom in 2012. Among them is Stagville in Durham, the largest antebellum plantation in North Carolina. Once consisting of 30,000 acres and home to some 900 slaves, Stagville is one of only a few places in the South where visitors can see original slave dwellings. There are four such structures on site, as well as a timber-frame barn built entirely by skilled slave craftsmen.
COAST
On the eastern side of the state, visitors can obtain an in-depth experience of North Carolinas Civil War-era African-American culture at Somerset Place in Creswell. At one time, the plantation was home to nearly 170 slaves. Today, this historic site places substantial emphasis on slave history through the interpretation of archaeological remains of slave quarters, reconstructed slave dwellings and a slave hospital. Federal troops visited the plantation twice in July 1862 to requisition supplies. In New Bern, although blacks were not eligible to enlist in the Union Army until 1863, they were very active in the Union cause, serving as spies, teamsters and laborers.

Eventually, New Bern became a key recruitment site for both free blacks and escaped slaves looking to join the Union Army. The North Carolina History Center at Tryon Palace has exhibits on the regions black history and offers a tour from an African-American perspective. A new Civil War Museum opened in November 2011. Under Both Flags: Civil War in the Albemarle Region, which includes the stories of several free blacks and slaves, is on view at Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City. South of New Bern is Fort Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach. The fort was occupied at various times by both Confederate and Federal troops, and both slaves and free
blacks from New Bern were sent to the fort to help prepare the fortifications for war after North Carolina seceded from the Union. The African-American laborers were dismissed in August 1861, after North Carolina turned the fort over to the Confederate government. One of the most compelling sites to visit is Fort Fisher State Historic Site in Kure Beach, where the 27th U.S. Colored Troops were part of a massive Federal attack on this Confederate stronghold in 1865. The fort holds living history demonstrations, and Fort Fishers annual re-enactment takes place each year in January. A Civil War Trails sign at the forts Battery View cannon also interprets blacks contributions to the war.

Sustainable agriculture is just a fork away
or chefs, North Carolina is a field of dreams just waiting to be harvested. Each year, they enter their recipes made with locally produced vegetables and fruits, cheese, meats and fish in hopes of being judged the best dish of the year in the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer
Services Best Dish restaurant contest. The competition, now in its sixth year, brings awareness to the numerous restaurants and chefs across the state that feature local cuisine on their menus. When we get our first delivery of asparagus from Priest Farms in Carthage, we know that spring has truly arrived, says Ashley Van Camp, owner/chef of Ashtens in Southern Pines, which won first place in the Fine Dining category of the contest in 2010. One of our Best Dish entres was an asparagus strudel in an asparagus soup. We also make asparagus and crab cannelloni, a shaved asparagus salad and asparagus noodles. Good taste can be cultivated through the Savor NC program, which helps get the bounty of the farm to the nearest restaurant all year long. Menus will likely have more sweet potatoes, turkeys, cucumbers, pork, strawberries and trout, which are among the states highest-yielding commodities and available for purchase at places such as Johnston County Hams in Smithfield, A Southern Season in

Chapel Hill, Aunt Rubys Peanuts in Enfield and pick-your-own farms across the state. My favorite dishes combine tomatoes and basil, says Lucindy Willis of Yancey House Restaurant in Yanceyville, which has won several times before. The cozy eatery gets produce from nearby Catbriar Farm and Walker Farms. One year, the tomatoes and basil were the centerpiece for my gazpacho, and [in 2010] they were the key ingredients of the panzanella salad that I made using five different types of heirloom tomatoes. These Best Dish in North Carolina meals can be ordered by visitors at the contestwinning restaurants during a four-week promotion between May and September. Winners for 2011 in the Eastern Piedmont/ Coastal Region include Elliotts on Linden and the 1895 Grille in Pinehurst, Marcs on Market and Kornerstone Bistro in Wilmington, Yancey House in Yanceyville and Mez in Durham. In the Western Piedmont/Mountain Region, winners were Gallery Restaurant in Charlotte, Mast Farm Inn in Valle Cruis, Crippens in Blowing Rock, Knife & Fort in Spruce Pine, Off the Square in Albemarle, Kitchen Roselli in East Bend and Bistro 42 in Asheboro. With all of those award-winnng entres, guests are likely to get a side of conversation about the food theyre eating. All our burger meat and specialty steaks come from Hilltop Angus Farm, Van Camp says. When we visit a farm, we look for healthy, free-range, grass-fed animals and proper agricultural practices. We want to be sure when we tell a customer it is all natural, it is. Willis says she relies on Iseleys Farm in nearby Burlington for a lot of her produce. I buy the first tomatoes of the year from them and the last with strawberries, potatoes, squash and peppers in between, she adds. Other places to find farm-fresh fare are at the five state farmers markets in Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, the Piedmont Triad and Lumberton, in addition to other tailgate and farmers markets around the state. These markets offer an unbelievable variety of fruits, vegetables and other locally sourced products such as honey, eggs, bread, meat, fresh flowers and more.

under the Tuscan sun, a little yellow farmhouse similar to Giardini Gardens & Trattoria in Columbus would be magnifico. In North Carolina, its downright delicious when Joe Laudisio rolls the handmade pastas just like his ancestors did in Sicily and Naples, and his wife, Marily, makes sauces that reflect that food-centric culture. I giardini means the gardens, and the Laudisios order heirloom seeds for their tomatoes directly from Italy, which then supply their trattoria and local community-supported agriculture groups with produce. They also offer Italian cooking classes, Sunday suppers, sustainable farming workshops, mobile wood-fired pizza parties and bocce tournaments all under the North Carolina sun.

The abundance of family-friendly activities aside, most visitors come to spend leisurely time with loved ones in an affordable setting. In a nutshell, its about the cost of having a family in a house versus a hotel, Vines says. You can come to the mountains and rent a real home with a real kitchen and a yard for the kids to play in for so much less than a hotel would cost. And think how many memories are made in the kitchen.

all I always want, when Im fishing. One more cast before weighing anchor and returning to the marina. Truth is, I dont want this glorious day on North Carolinas Pamlico Sound to end. Im standing in a 21-foot boat, part of a diverse fleet of deep-sea and
inshore charters for hire on the Outer Banks. With a guide and some beautifully balanced, cork-handled graphite rods, Ive spent the day exploring the lee sides of islands, shadows under bridges and secret holes where fish linger. Weve squinted through sunglasses, dodged rain showers and swapped stories, embellishing past fishing trips into epic adventures. By my count, weve hooked 50 fish from 14 species, including croaker, sheepshead, flounder, king mackerel, amberjack, cobia, red drum and striped bass. All caught and admired. Some photographed. Most released. A few iced down for dinner. In North Carolina, anglers enjoy many such days. Some set course for 15 to 60 miles offshore in search of giant billfish, wily sharks and feisty yellowfin tuna along the Atlantic continental shelf. Others prefer coastal marshes, inlets, sounds and river mouths protected by barrier islands, including Hatteras and Ocracoke. People also fish freshwater lakes in

the Piedmont, favoring huge lakes such as Gaston, High Rock, Jordan, Kerr, Norman and others, or gravitate toward dozens of smaller lakes and rivers. Perched on bass boats, houseboats, sailboats, rowboats, canoes, docks and shorelines, they haul in sunfish, catfish, carp, walleye and largemouth bass. Still more don rubber waders and step into cool mountain streams tumbling from the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, stalking wild or hatchery-stocked trout among forest-shaded rocks, rapids, sandbars and eddies. North Carolina really has it all, says Capt. Jamie Reibel of Phideaux Fishing in Manteo. I grew up in Raleigh, fishing freshwater lakes and mountain streams. Now, I run inshore and deep-sea charters on my 52-footer, the Phideaux. Theres nothing like reeling in big tuna and wahoo. The state is great for all kinds of fishing. Frank Smith of Hunter Banks Co., in Asheville outfits countless anglers for fly-fishing. Western North Carolina has more than 4,000 miles of public trout streams, he says. We catch rainbow, brown, native brook and, on bigger rivers like the French Broad, muskie and smallmouth bass. Nobodys born knowing how to tie flies, but they learn by doing. It can be addicting. Im content just to be out among the elements, even at 5 a.m., when many trips begin. Some days I dont land anything its called fishing, after all, not catching but I still prefer those days to any at the office. One more cast, please. Thats all I want.

dangling from one drawer dominates the corner of Hamilton and Westwood streets in High Point. More than just an eye-catching landmark, it symbolizes part of North Carolinas cultural heritage furniture.
Known as the Furniture Capital of the World, High Point and the Piedmont region produce some of the best-known furniture lines and are the source of some serious bargains for shoppers. In particular, the Hickory Furniture Mart offers prices at up to 80 percent off retail in a shopping environment that is also a major tourist destination. We have a million square feet on four levels, a mixture of custom stores, outlets and galleries representing more than 1,000 manufacturers under one roof, says Executive Vice President and General Manager Tracey Trimble. We carry contemporary, traditional, transitional and everything in between. Some 500,000 people visit the mart each year to take advantage of semiannual sales, showroom samples, demonstrations and even free design help. Pride in North Carolina-made products isnt limited to furniture. When it comes to good eating, perhaps the states most famous food export is Bone Suckin Sauce. Raleigh-based Fords Gourmet Foods has built one mans memories of his mothers barbecue sauce into a brand lauded in major food magazines. You can buy the sauce at many specialty

stores throughout the state, as well as grocers such as Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger and Fresh Market. Then theres Ashe County Cheese, produced and sold in West Jefferson. Founded in 1930, the company produces more than 20 varieties of cheese, and sells butter, fudge and locally made wines in its store. A viewing area allows visitors a peek into the cheese-making process. It may have Texas in its name, but Texas Pete hot sauce is made in North Carolina and has been since 1929. The Winston-Salem company now makes a variety of hot and spicy items, such as seafood cocktail sauce, honey mustard and chili sauce. Other food items that got their start in North Carolina include Lance snacks, Cheerwine, Sun Drop, Neeses, Aunt Rubys Peanuts and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For many, North Carolina is the arts and crafts destination, whether their interests lie in pottery, textiles, wood carvings, baskets, jewelry or American Indian crafts. The Seagrove area is home to more than 100 potters, many of whom regularly open their studios to visitors. In fact, exquisite pottery has been so much a part of local life since the 1700s, that state Highway 705 has been officially named the North Carolina Pottery Highway. American Indian crafts take top billing at the Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual in Cherokee, the oldest Native American arts cooperative in the United States. Here, visitors will find traditional baskets, wood carvings, pottery, stone carvings and other collectibles made by Cherokee tribal members, ranging in price from $20 to $2,000. We work hard to keep the traditions alive, to keep our identity and culture alive and thriving, and to keep the connection alive between ourselves and the past, says Outreach Coordinator Tonya Carroll. We use that to be connected to the future. North Carolinas love affair with the sea is evident in its historic boatbuilding industry. Boatyards are found along the Coast, where legendary builders have constructed everything from world-class sailing yachts to the states very own official shad boat. Check out North Carolinas maritime museums in Beaufort and Southport and consider taking a model boat home with you. Another fun keepsake might be one of the handmade duck decoys available at area shops. Your purchase helps preserve the areas waterfowl-carving heritage.

Telling Stories in New Ways

Technology brings statewide attractions to life
STORY BY JOE RADA
haracters from an earlier century, moving about in their portrait frames, ignore the gaps in time and space, and speak to passing families. A cooks hands magically appear over a stovetop, showing a group of students how to prepare a typical 1830s meal in cast-iron pots. Old-fashioned quilt patterns take shape in a newfangled way on an interactive screen as huddled participants collaborate. Such technological innovations are reinventing
the way we experience the past at the North Carolina History Center at Tryon Palace in New Bern. Through audiovisual simulations and hands-on oppor tunities, people pilot a sailing ship, roll barrels along a wharf, distill Tar Heel turpentine from pinesap and otherwise immerse themselves in coastal life from nearly 200 years ago. On historic grounds where Colonial, Revolutionary and Early American periods unfolded from 1770 through the 1800s, a new era of interactive exhibits has emerged. One fifth-grader, dashing between activities, sums it up: Here you can do stuff. At some museums you cant. Thats really cool. Likewise, at Discovery Place in Charlotte, visitors can trek through a rainforest from a swinging bridge, discover the worlds ecosystems in the World Alive exhibit or unleash their inner architect to create sketches, floor plans and buildings through a variety of computer-generated programs. All across the state, museums are using technology in more engaging ways, creating memorable encounters and better understanding. Here are some attractions where technology makes both past and present more interesting.

Time travel via a roomful of swirling images to the states early days. Beyond opportunities to participate, visitors can use handheld, touch-screen devices that interpret the period from the perspectives of town leaders, women, children, the enslaved, architectural historians, artists and writers. You can make your own personalized souvenirs, too. visitnc.com 33
Discovery Place
Charlotte www.discoveryplace.org (704) 372-6261
With its mission to ignite wonder, Discovery Place revels in technological marvels. Exhibits offer all ages the chance to see, hear, touch and do science. A favorite: Cool Stuff, where you can launch objects into the air, crush a garbage can and lie on a bed of nails just to see how things work.

The High Octane Theaters giant movie screen and powerful speakers pay heart-pounding tribute to motorsports. Simulations let you operate a car jack, quick-change a tire, fuel a racecar and speed through onscreen turns. You can also walk or crawl on all fours up a re-created stretch of steeply banked track. Youll never think its just racing again.
North Carolina Museum of Art

Raleigh www.ncartmuseum.org (919) 839-6262
Innovative and internationally acclaimed architectural designs at this recently expanded museum nearly doubled exhibit space, making the entire complex more open. A clever rooftop apparatus that uses state-of-the-art technology redirects daylight to enhance displays inside. New gardens, plazas and water features complement the art collection and increase the sensual nature of a visit.
Jennettes Pier
Nags Head www.jennettespier.net (800) 832-3474
Perched on a 1,000-foot-long concrete fishing pier, this North Carolina Aquariums branch houses aquatic animals and alternative-energy demonstrations in a new, $25 million, energy-efficient structure. In 2003, the historic pier which dates back to 1939 was partially destroyed by Hurricane Isabel. When it reopened in 2011, it once again became an indispensable part of the states collection of aquariums, including Fort Fisher (focusing on Cape Fear), Pine Knoll Shores (habitats from mountains to sea) and Roanoke Island (all about the Outer Banks).

the state like those at Biltmore in Asheville and Airlie Gardens in Wilmington explode with color. Mount Mitchells peak offers sweeping views of the blossoming Mountains and southern Piedmont.
As summer breathes its warmth across the state, spread a towel on the sand and soak up the sun along the Coast. In late June, take a scenic drive through the Mountains, where the rhododendrons pink, purple and white blossoms can be enjoyed at every turn, or while away an hour or two in a canoe on one of the Piedmonts many lakes. Hot-air balloon tours float over shades of fall color that move down the Mountains and across the fields of 40 2012 North Carolina Travel Guide the Piedmont. Scenic roadways and hiking trails cut through dogwoods, sweet gums, tulip poplars and red maples, presenting a riot of color from late September to early November. In the winter, the Mountains host some of the best skiing and snowboarding on the East Coast. And even though its cold outside, a drive to admire snow-laden hilltops or a hike among the quiet beauty of bare trees is a wonderful respite from daily life.

Since 1947, Ward Realty has helped create lasting memories of Topsail Island, the most affordable vacation spot on the coast. Our 280 rentals include oceanfront to soundfront, luxury to budget and everything in between. Call or go online to start planning your well-deserved vacation.
