A Little Motor Journey Raleighs Historic Highway Route
Raleigh, the capital, traces a historic highway from Pinehurst to Fayetteville, dating back 200 years as a Native American trading path. The route carried troops in the French and Revolutionary eras, saw Civil War events, steamboat plans on Neuse waterway, and led to Raleigh’s unique state ownership of sidewalks and grand capital buildings.
