Salisbury has some great historic sites if you're into that sort of thing. Several really old churches and houses including the law office where Andrew Jackson read law as a young man. This area was heavily involved during the Revolution. Check with the public library or the tourist board.

Dan Nicholas Park is a nice place to get out of doors.

If you're looking for something a little more lively, get on I-85 S and drive to Charlotte- lots of museums, performance spaces, restaurants, shopping, and pubs.

Cordially,

David
