Close your
eyes and imagine a city set among acres of hardwood and evergreen forests, hills
and dales, serene lakes, meandering rivers and streams, and you will have an
accurate picture of Durham, North Carolina. Durham is the fourth largest city in
the state, and is located about halfway between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the
pristine beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Durham is a colorful,
creative, and entrepreneurial community and is the proud home of Research
Triangle Park, Duke, and North Carolina universities. Visitors have found this
congenial town to be filled with an engaging spirit where diverse and passionate
people are open and welcoming. Both residents and visitors enjoy the host of
cultural, historical, educational, and natural amenities that Durham has to
offer.
Durham has also been called the City of Medicine
for its outstanding hospitals, major national and
multinational health care companies, cutting-edge research companies, specialty
clinics, nationally recognized medical teaching facilities, and acclaimed
centers for weight management.
Although each is
separate and distinct, Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill are the three main cities that make up
the family of communities sometimes referred to
as the Research Triangle or the Triangle Region. Research
Triangle Park (RTP) carved from Durham pinelands in 1959 as a special Durham
County tax district for research and production, is encompassed on three sides
by the City of Durham and a mere four miles from downtown Durham. The
Triangle now refers to two metropolitan
statistical areas (a four county MSA with the city of Durham at its core, and
another around Raleigh-Cary), a 13-county state planning region, and other
regional cooperatives
If you are
wondering what to do during your trip to Durham, visiting adults and children
enjoy the highly acclaimed, entirely hands-on Museum of Life and Science. Durham
has many historic sites from which to choose, such as Bennett Place (where the
Civil War ended) or Stagville (the largest plantation in North Carolina with the
original big house, slave quarters, and a monumental barn still standing).
Explore the miles of nature trails along the Eno River, or take a restful stroll
through the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. At night, you may want to enjoy a live
performance at Duke University or at the beautifully restored Carolina Theatre
in downtown Durham.

No trip to
Durham would be complete without visiting Duke University. The highlight of this
showplace is the Duke Chapel, reminiscent of England's Canterbury Cathedral. The
bell tower rises 210 feet and houses a 50-bell carillon that rings out at the
end of each workday and on Sunday. A half-million-dollar Flentrop organ with
more than 5,000 pipes is in a special oak gallery, and renowned organists
perform public recitals on the first Sunday of each month. During a visit to the
West Campus, take a look at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the home of the Duke Blue
Devils basketball team since 1935.
Thousands
of locals and tourists fill the stands each summer as the Durham Bulls play a
full season in the Class AAA International League as an affiliate of the Tampa
Bay Devil Rays. The Bulls shot to fame (and have been
credited with rejuvenating minor league baseball ) on the shoulders of
Kevin Costner catching for rookie pitcher Tim Robbins in the 1988 movie “Bull
Durham”. While the Bulls no longer play in Historic
Durham Athletic Park where the film was actually shot, the park is still
standing and hosts numerous events and festivals each year. In 1995, the Bulls
moved from the wonderful old-time ballpark to a state-of-the-art stadium about a
mile south in downtown Durham.
Throughout
the year, Durham is jumping with festivals and events. From free music concerts
and chili cook-offs to art exhibits and world class film festivals, visitors to
the Durham area will find both their days and nights filled with stimulating
entertainment.
