We consider our rich history to be a guide for those who seek to understand the roots of innovation and change. In our city, the curious traveler is not a spectator but an active participant in a story that is both contemporary and steeped in rich Southern traditions and history.

From the Moravians who built a self-sustaining community in the 1700s to the African American entrepreneurs who shaped its future, Winston-Salem’s history is layered, alive, and waiting to be explored. Step inside the very mills and factories that fueled a boomtown—now transformed into thriving arts, dining, and hospitality spaces. At day’s end, check into a landmark: the stately Kimpton Cardinal Hotel, the enchanting Graylyn Estate, or the charming Brookstown Inn, all rich with stories of their own.
