Let the warmth and charm of Benson welcome you as you explore the historic attractions in Benson, home to the Benson Museum of Local History, the Singing Grove Park and a thriving downtown merchant community.
Create a unique weekend experience, including dog-friendly accommodations at the Hampton Inn, with the 3-acre Benson Dog Park right next door where your pups can run off-leash. Treat yourself to tastings and tours at Broadslab Distillery and a yummy waffle breakfast at Cornerstone Cafe, then spend the afternoon wine tasting at Gregory Vineyards and shopping along Benson’s Main Street. Rest for a minute then head back to Main Street for a sweet treat followed by an evening of fun at Fainting Goat Brewery.
For some additional one-of-a-kind stops in Benson for a weekend trip...try the big country buffet just 7 miles south of town at Meadow Restaurant where you will love the food and the home-made desserts even more! Race fans should check out the upcoming calendar for what's going down the track at GALOT Motorsports Park and if you seek gluten-free treats, Benson has the only 100% gluten free bakery in North Carolina, stop by JP Pastry's in Downtown.
For family fun options, see what's in season to "pick-your-own" at Smith's Farm, this fall get your pumpkin before heading back home!
