It has a mural, including the Marquis de Lafayette for whom the city was named, and the interior has a few historical exhibitions. Not a full on museum, but some interesting things to ponder.

There was a security guard at front, which is kind of expected for downtown Fayetteville, but everything seemed quiet when I was there.

If you're in the first 50-100 people, they will check all your documents and give you a number. They mentioned people were waiting in line starting at 5am. I don't think you really need to get there that early though. They'll try to fit you in the morning between appointments but if you don't have all your paperwork situated they will have you come back in the afternoon. Which I think is great that they make sure you have all your documents in the beginning rather than wait until your name/number is called. The appointment was also super quick! It took about 15 minutes to get what I needed to get done. Everyone hates going to the dmv but it's good to keep in mind that kindness and patience go a long way. This was such a stress free experience, I can't thank everyone who works here enough!!

How does one rate a military base? I mean, they're not meant for tourism or public visits but if…read moreyou are family/friends coming to see your soldiers and/or attend a graduation of some sort, or maybe you're a solider transferring to Bragg and want to see what it's like maybe this will help. It's Huge! Fort Bragg is one of the five largest military bases in the US. It's basically it's own town and if you are a soldier coming here for a long term station you may want to think about shipping your vehicle over or you're going to have to make friends real quick to ride to formations and such with as they are often a good long walk away from barracks. For family/friends visiting, I'd suggest staying at a hotel on base such the IHG hotels as they are just as nice as most the ones in the town of Fayetteville, in a lot safer location, and close as you can get to your soldier. The barracks here are standard military barracks, cement floors, fans that look like they'll fly off the ceiling but definitely work to cool you down, simple kitchens, pretty gross bathrooms, a window view of the building next to you, etc. There are definitely different levels of quality depending on rank and if you get lucky enough to move up to newer rooms. Being next to a PX, gym, or dining facility is a perk as well and pretty common for many. There's really not much to do on base for visitors. You will have to either Uber/Lyft (Lyft is cheaper generally) onto base or if you are driving yourself, go to the visitors center to get a pass of some sort which is at the front gate. You can bowl on base with your soldier, shop at the px or the mall behind the IHG moon hotel, and get some work done at Starbucks (one of the few places you don't need a military ID to spend money at). Other than that, I'd recommend going to "downtown Fayetteville" and having lunch at The Fried Turkey Sandwich Shop, getting a cupcake at The Sweet Palette, seeing a movie at AMC 14, and visiting the Airborne and Special Operations Museum - all off base. Make sure to check the hours of the museum as they are a little funky. Overall it's a pretty standard military base. I've met some incredible soldiers that work/train there and heard some pretty terrible things about the civilians that run the cafeterias, which disappoints me. The hours for these military cafeterias are ridiculous as well, closing multiple weekends at a time and choosing random hours to shut down during the week. Personally, if I could change anything about this base, it'd be the cafeteria staff's attitude/respect for the soldiers and their open hours, as the soldiers are required to pay hundreds for a monthly meal card and can't even fulfill that with the amount of times they close up. That's just not cool, looking forward to change.

Harmony Hall Plantation is located in White Oak, NC. The main house was built in 1768 by Colonel…read moreJames Richardson. He was a shipper and a Veteran of the French and Indian Wars. It is one of the oldest residences in the state. Local lore claims British General Cornwallis used the house as his headquarters and that Mrs. Richardson eavesdropped on his plans through a hole in the ceiling and sent a warning to General Greene, although historians say that Cornwallis likely stayed on the opposite side of the Cape Fear River. Today, the plantation is run by volunteers and has been made into a historic village. The main house has double porches and exterior stairs to get to the upper levels. The house sits a little higher as the area is prone to flooding and suffered damage from Hurricane Florence in 2018. Inside the house, there are hand-carved fireplaces and mantels. An event was happening while I was there, so it was harder to see the house. But I happened to be there for the birthday of Harmony Hall's Colonel James Richardson. They had volunteers showing trades and crafts from embroidery to wool and flax spinning to carpentry. They even had a Betsy Ross Birthday cake. Currently, only one building is open for viewing, the main house. You can walk the grounds and see several other historic buildings. These were moved to the site for preservation. There is a schoolhouse, a chapel, a country store, a corn crib, and a log cabin. Admission and parking are free, and a restroom is available. The operating hours have changed to 12-4pm on Sundays.
