Your coach awaits to whisk you away for an outing for all or part of a day. Here are some ideas for these day trips in the Carolinas. Or, we can customize a tour for your group based on your special itinerary.

Founded in 1766 to house professional Moravian
craftsmen, Salem, a congregational town and trading center, was a haven for
entrepreneurs. Now known as Old Salem, it is one of America's most authentic and
well-documented colonial sites with 100 restored and reconstructed
buildings. Visitors learn from costumed interpreters the household
activities of European and African Americans who resided here through 1840.
Skilled trades such as pewtering, pottery making, woodworking, shoemaking and
tailoring are demonstrated. Two National Historic Landmarks are here, the
Single Brothers' House and Salem Tavern.
