HISTORY BUFF Where to stay:
Alamance County has a variety of lodging options, depending on your preference. Day 1: A tour of historic sites has to begin at Alamance Battleground . This is where, in 1771, an army of backcountry farmers called Regulators took on royal governor William Tryon’s militia. Although the Regulators were defeated, their tactics became a model for the colonists fighting in the Revolutionary War. The Allen House is a must-see at the battleground site. From the battleground site, head to Cedarock Historical Farm for a glimpse at life in the 1800s. The farm features restored buildings and livestock. Round out the day with a visual exploration of art and culture at Alamance Arts . An 1871 home has been turned into an art gallery that features works from local, regional and nationally acclaimed artists. Art appreciation continues with a visit to the Paramount , an Art Deco theater built in the 1920s. Hours vary by event. Day 2: Alamance County was a titan of the textile industry. The Textile Heritage Museum showcases that rich history. Pictures, raw fabric, looms and other machinery are on display. Wind down with a stroll through the beautiful campus of Elon University . .
