Home of the Brave
Often, to truly honor someone, you must first walk in their shoes. In
NC, you can walk the deck of a battleship, tour a
Coast Guard cutter, skydive where soldiers train and discover military
history at area museums.
NC Historic Sites There’s just something about standing in the spot where history took place that gives you goose bumps, and in North Carolina, goose bumps are easy to come by.
North Carolina History No boring history here. Gold rushes, first flights, mysteriously disappearing colonies, pirate graves, pivotal battlefields – it doesn’t get more exciting than this!
Cultural Heritage Find out what gives NC its distinct character by experiencing its rich cultural heritage. From Scots-Irish settlers to Moravians, to Cherokees and African-Americans, the state wouldn't be the same without these trailblazers.
Civil War Whether you’re a history buff or a curious explorer, you'll find something to experience, explore and discover about North Carolina’s role in the Civil War.
First Flight It only took 12 seconds to forever change the way people traveled. Discover how it all happened at the Wright brothers National Monument in Kill Devil Hills.
