14 days in Rocky Mount Itinerary

Rocky Mount is a city in Edgecombe and Nash counties in the Atlantic coastal plain region of the U.S. state of North Carolina. Family-friendly places like Virginia Capitol Building and North Carolina History Center - Tryon Palace will thrill your kids. Venture out of the city with trips to Richmond (White House of the Confederacy, Tredegar Iron Works, &more), New Bern (Boat Tours & Water Sports, Birthplace of Pepsi-Cola, &more) and Petersburg (Petersburg National Battlefield Park & Pamplin Historical Park). There's still lots to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Tar River Trail, don't miss a visit to Bel Air Artisans Center, see the interesting displays at Rocky Mount Children's Museum and Science Center, and look for all kinds of wild species at Sylvan Heights Bird Park.
