Here in the land of the longleaf pine lie the fabled golf courses of the Pinehurst region. This is where Donald Ross got his start, and where you'll find his legacy alive and well today. A short drive east, celebrate “Freedom’s Home” at visitor-friendly military events and attractions.

House in the Horseshoe, Sanford/Carthage, NC, 11/3/18 Sites that have lasted hundreds of years always have an air to them. Being a huge history buff myself--especially with anything in or around the Revolutionary war era--I always try to visit when I can. The bullet holes from the brief skirmish in 1781 remain by the door-frames. #historicsites #historicplaces #history #historicalplaces #historical #houseinthehorsehoe #nchistoricsites #northcarolina #northcarolinahistoricsites #Alstonhouse #ncexplored#explorecarolina #revolutionarywar #Americanrevolution #Americanhistory #visitnc #18thcentury
