Kid Stuff

For those who’d like to spend the day outside, Dan Nicholas Park in Salisbury offers a carousel, miniature golf, paddleboats, a petting zoo, and miniature train rides.

Museums

The North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer qualifies as one of the best museums in the state. It certainly is the largest! At their busiest, the Spencer Shops employed between 2,500 and 3,000 people on a 57-acre compound. Without doubt, anyone who’s ever felt the romance of railroad travel will find the Robert Julian Roundhouse fascinating. The classic cars contained in the Bumper-to-Bumper exhibit aren’t bad either!The museum is open state hours. For more information, call 877-628-6386 or visit www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/hs/spencer/spencer.htm.

It’s not surprising that Salisbury, a town that’s fierce about protecting its historical architecture, would turn an old building into a museum. The former Rowan County Courthouse is now home to the Rowan Museum. Located on Main Street, it’s open Thursday through Sunday from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. An admission fee is charged. For more information, call 704-633-5946.
