The gentle rolling hills of Greensboro, North Carolina are nestled between the
coast and the Blue Ridge range of the Appalachians, making for a pleasant
climate and beautiful scenery all year long. Just the sight of the mountains
and the sound of the running streams, tempt even the inveterate city dweller to
take a deep breath and relax.
Whenever you plan to visit, the weather will be just about perfect. The average
July high temperatures are in the upper 80’s. Fall is usually the driest time
of year, and with the long growing season and ample precipitation in spring and
summer, the leaves on the trees are colorful and tend to linger on the
branches. When they do turn and fall, the sight is breathtaking. The
temperatures average in the high 50’s in the fall and drop into the high 30’s in
the winter. If Greensboro gets any snow at all, it adds just the right touch to
Natures’ handiwork, making the city a virtual postcard.
Enjoying the weather is just one of the natural benefits of Greensboro. It is
also a city rich in history and the preservation of memories of past events.
One of these is the Reenactment of the
Revolutionary War Battle of Guilford Courthouse. “Explore History Days Events”
held throughout the year, are highlighted by the reenactment of the battle. The
activities take place at the Special Events Field in Military Park. The 220
acre site includes wayside exhibits and a visitor center with displays, films,
and brochures.
For another family activity, watch one of the
teams in action. Baseball has the Greensboro Bats, Ice Hockey the Generals, and
soccer the Carolina Dynamos. Another popular attraction is the Wet ‘n
Wild Emerald Pointe Waterpark. It’s the largest
water park in the Carolina, featuring more than 34 rides and attractions. Why
not take the plunge on the popular all enclosed Twin Twisters water slide or the
Dare Devil Drop speed slide.

About 15 miles south of Asheboro is Seagrove, also known as Jugtown, where
internationally known pottery is made. Blessed with large deposits of surface
clay, the area has supported communities of potters since well before English
settlements in the mid-18th century. As the demand for utilitarian pottery and
whiskey jugs lessened, the area's potters developed new traditions of decorative
art pottery.
The city of High Point (15 miles southwest of Greensboro) is a major furniture
