February 2010

Welcome to VisitNC.com, the official travel and tourism web site for the State of North Carolina. On this site, you’ll find everything you need to plan your next visit to our state, whether for a day trip, a weekend getaway, or a family vacation.

In February, NC celebrates Black History Month with a salute to the many contributions that North Carolina’s African-American citizens have made to the state’s history. See the lunch counter where the struggle for equality began at the brand new International Museum of Civil Rights in Greensboro, enjoy a wide range of African-American art and culture at the Harvey B. Gantt Center in Charlotte, or explore the many other NC sites where black history was made!

We’re also celebrating NC’s prominence as a destination for top-quality furniture shopping with the new Furniture journey, and if you’re looking for some fun in the February snow, we’ve got a brand new video dedicated to the great variety of winter sports opportunities in the High Country.

Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, mountains or beaches, cities or wilderness, you’ll find it in North Carolina!
