Friday, August 7, 2020 11:00 AM by Donna Bailey-Taylor

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!
