Here in the land of the longleaf pine lie the fabled golf courses of the Pinehurst region. This is where Donald Ross got his start, and where you'll find his legacy alive and well today. A short drive east, celebrate “Freedom’s Home” at visitor-friendly military events and attractions.

Mile-high key lime pie. Heavenly! Golfers say they come to Pinehurst Resort for the championship courses, but the true legend here is this dessert! The menu states it's big enough to share. Yeah... I don't think so! . . . #dessert #dessertporn #dessertoftheday #dessertstagram #keylimepie #merengue #milehighkeylimepie #pinehurst #pinehurstnc #visitnc #todaysummermoment

House in the Horseshoe, Sanford/Carthage, NC, 11/3/18 Sites that have lasted hundreds of years always have an air to them. Being a huge history buff myself--especially with anything in or around the Revolutionary war era--I always try to visit when I can. The bullet holes from the brief skirmish in 1781 remain by the door-frames. #historicsites #historicplaces #history #historicalplaces #historical #houseinthehorsehoe #nchistoricsites #northcarolina #northcarolinahistoricsites #Alstonhouse #ncexplored#explorecarolina #revolutionarywar #Americanrevolution #Americanhistory #visitnc #18thcentury
