Winston-Salem road trips

Things to do in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Winston-Salem NC is the birthplace of both Camel cigarettes and Krispy Kreme. The top attraction is the Old Salem Museums and Gardens, which brings together several topics across a series of preserved buildings. Wander the site, and you’ll move from decorative arts to indigenous peoples to Moravian settlers.

Other attractions include the Reynolda Museum of American Art in a handsome mansion and Historic Bethabara Park. The latter is the site of the first Moravian settlement in North Carolina.

You can also go on a guided ghost tour.

For Winston-Salem accommodation with a bit of personality, try the Kimpton Cardinal or Historic Brookstown Inn.
