My father was from King's Mountain, NC. King's Mountain National Battlefield Park is entirely in South Carolina. Have been there several times. IMO, it is rather rural, and out of the way. Of course, that depends on where you are now, doesn't it! It is not far from Charlotte, NC, if you enjoy shopping and displays. In a week, one could easily do both Cowpens and King's Mountain National Parks, the Carl Sandburg home in Flat Rock, NC, the Biltmore House in Asheville, the Cherokee Reservation, Linville Falls, Blowing Rock and Boone, NC. The best library in North Carolina is the North Carolina State Library and Archives, on Jones Street, in Raleigh. If I were going to vacation in North Carolina, I would either do the mountain route, (the Biltmore Estate, in my opinion, is a "must see"), or do the eastern route, seeing New Bern, with its colonial buildings, such as Tryon Palace, Nags Head/Manteo, Ft. Raleigh National Historic Site, Roanoke Island, Bentonville Battlefield, Raleigh, maybe a swing out to Guilford Court House National Military Park. I believe the state of NC has a web page, where you could access tourism info.
