About Winston-Salem


When most people talk about Winston-Salem, they don’t realize they’re actually discussing one of the most culturally important parts of the country. In fact, the oldest women’s college in the US is situated in Winston-Salem.

Apart from its historical significance, the city is also known for its beauty since it’s skillfully tucked by nature between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ridge Mountains. With less than 400,000 residents, Winston-Salem has enough to do for everyone, including art galleries, museums, breweries, parks, and so much more.

The West End historic district is the major area to learn about Winston-Salem and its part in US history. With over 500 buildings, the district is sprawled over 230 acres. Some popular sites include Queen Anne, The Zevely House, and the Colonial Revival buildings.
