Day Trip from the Triangle
Pinehurst:

Wilmington:

Across the street on Chestnut stand City Hall and Thalian Hall. The ornate Thalian Hall opened in 1858 and remains one of the oldest continuously operating performing arts theaters in the state. This turn-of-the-century theater is home to a number of theater companies, drawing from local and regional support.

Although Wilmington now bustles with its new movie industry, it has retained its good-mannered, southern dignity. Today's traveler would be hard put to find a city has historically attuned, safe and artistically diverse as Wilmington.

Beaufort:
Beaufort, originally called Fishtown, still has that easy old-fashioned charm of the early 18th century. There are over 100 historic homes here, some dating as early as 1698. The homes, constructed with pegs instead of nails, are set back a bit from tree-shaded streets and white picket fences as if awaiting the return of the seafaring men who built them. You can spend a day - or a week - exploring Beaufort's past, or just sit by the docks waving to fishing and pleasure boats as you watch the changing colors of the sky reflected on the water. Beaufort has the feel of a village where you can ride your bike or roller skate past the waterfront just at the time when the flag is lowered each day at sunset.

Southport: Antiques
For many years the Pinehurst-Southern Pines area has been a favorite of visitors who enjoy golf, tennis, horseback riding, polo, croquet, water sports, trap and skeet shooting and other things. Southern Pines has a long tradition of harness racing and steeplechase as well.

Outer Banks:
North Carolina Barrier Islands are a state treasure. It is your destination if you want a place without movies, fast foods or crime. Some of the country's best fishing is on or offshore. Known for windsurfing, kayaking and horseback riding, don't miss out on visiting the pony pens.

Asheville:
Asheville simply waltzes to a classier tune. Rich folks once came here to rock on hotel verandahs and don formal wear for dinner. Folks still rock on the verandahs, but now it's usually after a challenging game of golf, a trail hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway, a mountain trek with llamas, a day spent at Biltmore or antiquing, or visiting the Folk Art Gallery and Pack Place. Biltmore is the sole purpose that many people visit Asheville, and may be responsible for making the city internationally known.

Fearrington House Country Inn:
Evokes images of an 18th-century country retreat, complete with cozy suites, exquisitely landscaped gardens and Belted Galloway cows grazing in the pasture. Each room is uniquely decorated with antiques, but in addition to the country charm, there are plenty of civilized touches: stereo music, modern baths, afternoon teas in warm sitting rooms, and a complimentary breakfast at the widely acclaimed gourmet Fearrington House restaurant right on the premises. The Country Inn is located at Fearrington Village about six miles south of Chapel Hill and one from Pittsboro.
