Museums & historic sites
Let's start from the beginning
Having the first public university in the nation in our backyard, two restaurants, Sutton's Drug Store and Carolina Coffee Shop celebrating over 100 years; one being the oldest continuously running restaurant in North Carolina, plus buildings dating to the late-18th and early-20th centuries listed on the National Register of Historic places, for the history buff, this is where you want to visit.
Explore and learn about the history of Orange County and the Occaneechi Indian People with a visit to the Replica Village in Hillsborough, North Carolina. View brochure here
