Traveling to North Carolina for the League’s Conference on Information Technology? Take a few extra days and enjoy the area!
Would you like to take a pre- or post-conference trip to enjoy some of the great scenic and historic sites within driving distance of Charlotte? There is something close by for everyone’s interests. Here are just a few ideas.
Do you like the mountains? Asheville, North Carolina, home of the world-famous Biltmore Estate, is only 90 miles northwest of Charlotte. Stay at the historic Grove Park Inn, visit the Biltmore Estate, tour the winery and grounds, gamble at the new Harrah’s Cherokee Casino - all in the beautiful North Carolina Mountains. You can also drive a portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Visit the following websites for more information. |

A little farther from Charlotte is the Great Smokey Mountains National Park (a gorgeous three-to four-hour drive). This park is the most visited national park in the U.S. Visit the following websites for more information. |

Are you more interested in historic towns and sites? Old Salem (Winston-Salem) is one hour northeast of Charlotte.

Over the border south of Charlotte are two old historic sites well worth visiting: Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia. These old southern cities are well worth the trip on their own. Visit the following websites for more information. |
