No trip to the area would be complete without a stop in Historic Hillsborough. Classically-styled homes, churches and various other buildings make up this richly storied part of the world that, not surprisingly, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Structures date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, and that rich history attracts a significant number of artists and writers that in turn make the area a veritable haven for the arts. Add in a great selection of one-of-a-kind shops, attractions, restaurants, beautifully landscaped gardens and parks, and the city's charm will lure you to stay a few extra days to take it all in.

The Spring Hill House is a registered historical building and is currently the home of the North Carolina Japan Center.
The institution is also part of the NC State University's Centennial Campus. Many layers of historical relevance are here for learning, as this museum was once the main house of a plantation. The building has undergone numerous structural changes, not the least of which was a full-scaled renovation in 2000 and 2001. The stories that are preserved and retold here all make up the long, far-reaching chain of events that link it all back to Raleigh's origins and development.
