North Carolina Museum of History

Frommer's Review

The state's long and colorful history comes alive through innovative exhibits and programs in this state-of-the-art facility. It's all here, beginning with the Roanoke Island colonists to the present, including the contributions to the state by women and African Americans. The state, which was initially reluctant to enter what it called "a rich man's war and a poor man's fight," lost more native sons in battle than any other state in the Confederacy. The folklife gallery showcases the state's cultural and crafts heritage, exhibiting music, pottery, baskets, and textiles.
