It's a small town with a big history!  Whether you need a quick getaway or a long vacation, Hillsborough welcomes you to share it's history and become a part of the experiences it offers. Hillsborough was the scene of many dramatic events prior to the Revolutionary War and during the Civil War. Its downtown historic district features over 100 late 18th and early 19th century homes, churches and buildings, many which are open to the public. The population of Hillsborough is about 6,000 residents who appreicate the quaintness and friendliness of their small town, but also enjoy its fast, convenient access to other Triangle-area cities via Interstates 85 and 40, which run through or near the town limits.

I orginally from down the road a little peice (Wilmington).  You have a beautiful area there in NC.  Hopefully, I can come down a enjoy my retirement in the area assuming the market picks up a little more. You may want to keep it a secret so you don't get the major traffic jams that go with bnig city life.
