| Southern charm, rich history, a spectacular natural setting and mouth-watering dining are just a few of the the delights that await you in the Roanoke Valley. Often called North Carolina's "cradle of history," Historic Halifax is the birthplace of the Halifax Resolves, a document that gave rise to the creation of the Declaration of Independence. This state historic site is a "must see" for everyone in our area. The natural landscape also provides a wealth of recreational activities. From Lake Gaston, a 34-mile man-made lake, to Medoc Mountain State Park, a 2,300-acre natural wildlife preserve, there is something for everyone to enjoy. |
