premier attraction. This state-of-the-art educational facility houses exhibits
and programs that speak to the honor, courage, duty, and heroic feats of this
unique sector of the American armed forces from its inception in 1940 to

presence provides the bedrock for Fayetteville’s economy, many nationally and
internationally known businesses originated in the region. Today the
Fayetteville area provides the nation with one of the most diversified centers
for manufacturing industries, which insures a solid economic base from which to
recruit new industries and to plan comprehensive, long-term growth.

prominently in the industry mix and are attracted to Fayetteville because of the
diverse labor force and the technological capability to handle the needs of any
new business.

In the spring and summer, be sure to visit the
Fayetteville Rose Garden. With over 40,000 roses in bloom from March until
October, it’s a sight you won’t soon forget.
If you happen to be visiting in late October,
there is Historic Hauntings, described as A Ghastly Ghost Tour. This annual
special event features "ghostly" re-enactors and story tellers highlighting the
history of Fayetteville and telling some of the spookier legends from
Fayetteville's history. Hayrides are available as well.
For hikers, the Cape Fear
region offers some challenging little hills. However, not far to the west, an
often-overlooked chain of ancient volcanoes provides the adventure of an
Appalachian adventure close at hand. The Uwharrie Mountains rise to 1,000 feet
over parts of Montgomery and Stanly counties, about 90 minutes from
Fayetteville. Although they are not far from home, the mountains' isolated
vistas, cool breezes, and unusual volcanic rock give visitors the feeling of
being a world away.

University, part of the UNC system, is the state’s fastest growing, most rapidly
advancing institution of higher education. The people of the region are
