Since 1980, the State of North Carolina has been selecting cities and
towns of all sizes to carry the distinction as designated North Carolina
Main Street communities. The NC Main to Main Trail leads you through
the state’s designated Main Street communities, highlighting each town’s
best downtown and outdoor experiences.
