7 days in Durham Itinerary

Once the seat of a thriving tobacco industry, Durham has seen some significant moments in American history.

Change things up with these side-trips from Durham: Tanglewood Park (in Clemmons), Old Salem Museums & Gardens (in Winston Salem) and Raleigh (Memorial Bell Tower, Pullen Park, &more). There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Duke University Chapel, look for all kinds of wild species at Duke Lemur Center, examine the collection at International Civil Rights Center & Museum, and make a trip to American Tobacco Campus.
