Historic National Cemetery and Confederate Prison Site

Reviewed By Concordcouple2020 - Concord, United States

The location was not easy to find. There is a cemetery annex behind the V.A. hospital which some websites list as the location. The historic cemetery contains a mass grave with over 11,000 unknown Union soldiers buried there. The cemetery is not very large and is easy to walk around.

Dan Nicholas Park

Reviewed By mustayne - Salisbury, United States

This park has so much to offer. There is everything from two different playgrounds, Carousel and train rides, water feature and a mini Zoo. There is also gem mining, which we partake every time we go. Tons of open space and field and covered areas for barbecues. Just an awesome place which also has a great Festival in the fall, called Autumn Jubilee.

One of my new favorites! I came to visit from Virginia & the owners were the sweetest people you would ever meet! Amazing customer service & even more delicious wines! I didn’t try one that I didn’t like! I loved the family atmosphere! This is a must go to if you are in the area - either with family or just for a “day date”! I can’t wait to come back!

Definitely one of the larger flea markets around. There was tons of vendors from antiques, old tools, cool memorabilia to new unopened stuff. Lots of food on sale too. It makes a great adventure on a Saturday
