The Joel Lane Museum House tells the interesting story of how Raleigh came to be. As you walk through the house that is adorned with vintage furnishings and other genuine relics of the period, you'll hear the story of how Lane, a prominent statesman and soldier, sold the 1,000 acres of his land for the formation of a new capital in 1792.

Nothing like puttering around with the kids on a fun and unexpectedly challenging miniature golf course at Adventure Landing.

Sure, Raleigh's history is fascinating, but all those facts and stories might make you a little hungry. When your hunger for history turns into your hunger for a great meal, take the Taste of Carolina Gourmet Food Tours and taste the best items from the menus of standout restaurants and shops.
