10 Sights & Landmarks in Greensboro That You Shouldn't Miss

December 24, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Greensboro, North Carolina loves nightlife, shopping, and horses (8,000 buyers per year go to the Sharpe Family Horse Farm.)  Greensboro lives up to its name in the host of gardens, science centers, and arboretums. The Bog Garden features a living wetland ecosystem. History is also at home here with museums dedicated to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights movement. After a day of sightseeing, visitors flock to the Four Seasons Town Center for dinner, shopping, and a movie.

Most do not know about the Revolutionary War Battles fought in the south and this park is a very enlightening and educational experience. They have a nice center with exhibits, a great walking tour and for those that prefer, a driving tour of the battlefield.

This was one of the best free museums we've been to visit. The layout was nice and the staff were knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed the pieces of local history that made the displays so much more interesting and authentic. The temporary display was interactive and had kids engaged as we went through. The Vicks and O'Henry connections to this area was really neat to see and learn about. We really enjoyed this surprise visit to a great piece of history.

We've invested in some amazing artists, local and international, to help give our city and projects a colorful outdoor gallery that everyone can enjoy. These artists have developed murals on structures from 3 to 30 feet high.

I was absolutely blown away by the amenities, programs, accessibility to resources for success, career preparation forum, the many groups to join, class to professor ratio, campus living, study halls, the many friendly students and the knowledgeable tour guides. I wish the tour included entering empty classes so the potential students could get a sense of actually being a actual student. My husband and I took our son in Feb 2019. And now my 2 nephews are interested, so we will meet them there this April 2019. Excited!!

I was fortunate enough to have a personal tour throughout the property. I enjoyed learning about the history of the home and its occupants. It sheds light on early Greensboro and North Carolina's early years. There are period furnishings, some of which are original.
