We are so fortunate to have such a fabulous botanical garden in Fayetteville. My children love to visit and play in the children's garden. They have many workshops for children. The list seems to expand each year. I love to watch the vast species of native plants flowering during the different seasons. The walking trails are fun to do with children, as well. The Christmas light display is a must do over the holiday season. The garden is also one of our "go to" places to bring out of town guests.

Fayetteville was once the capital of the State of North Carolina and once welcomed LaFayetteville after The War of Independence. Today it is home to the Air Borne which is housed at Fort Bragg. As part of the downtown renaissance, the U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum, which is part of the United States Army Museum System, was opened on August 16, 2000, the 60th anniversary of the original Test Platoon's first parachute jump. This is a glorious modern building where one can learn the history and the accomplishments of the 82nd Airborne Division from 1917 to the present. The museum is well worth a visit and is free, but donations are always welcomed. Parking is provided and there is also a gift shop. The museum is opened daily from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. except for Sundays and Mondays and certain Federal Holidays. I have visited the museum a number of times and always find my visit rewarding and have learned different things at each visit. Just across the road from The Airborne Museum is the North Carolina Veterans Park, which is the first park in the state dedicated to military veterans from all branches of the armed services. The Park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk.
