My husband said just the two of us are going to take a week's vacation and I can pick the spot. Would this be a good place to go? Another question, in doing early NC research, where is the best library with the best collection? By the way - talking about Jamestown, etc. I was stationed near that area for three years while in the Navy and it was wonderful. Williamsburg is something everyone should see, as well as all the rest of the sites in that area. You could spend 3 weeks there and not see everything. And I understand it is even better today than when I was there. Also all the beautiful old mansions like Carter's Grove. Fredericksburg was one of my favorite places - maybe cause there was REv War and Civil War stuff. Yorktown back then was not so much, but I loved it anyway. Being in a place and seeing what our ancestors saw, the lay of the land, nothing beats it. >> Oh! I love the chat on this list. My grandmother lives in the Yorktown area so I know all about Williamsburg and Jamestown. Been to a lot of those places. That's where we were going when we went up I-85 past King's Mountain. I have not been to King's Mountain. I have just been by it on the interstate. North Carolina is a wonderful place anyway. It might be a nice place to go. The history sounds very interesting.
