Visiting a state capitol building is a must for some tourists when they are in a state capital. North Carolina, though, has added to the fun by setting up more attractions right across the street.
The state's Museum of History is one of them. You can probably guess what some of the permanent exhibits are. North Carolina's history, agriculture, military heroes, etc.
One nice touch is on the third floor, where the Sports Hall of Fame is located. Why doesn't New York do that? This one features Richard Petty's race car, Jim Valvano's warmup suit, and Arnold Palmer's Ryder Cup golf bag (he played college golf at Wake Forest).
Best of all, it's free.
I should have visited the North Carolina Museum of Natural History while I was in the neighborhood. The building looks spectacular. Maybe next time.
