On behalf of the residents of Winston-Salem, I'd like to welcome you to our home. We're very proud of the many contributions generations of African Americans have made to the city's economic and cultural well-being. We hope you too will be inspired by the stories behind the names and monuments you encounter while visiting our city.

Of course, there isn't enough space on this site to acknowledge every individual. So we encourage you to explore and chat with the people you meet during your stay. Visit Diggs Gallery on the campus of Winston-Salem State University. Take a seat for a performance by the North Carolina Black Repertory Company or enjoy a down-home meal at a neighborhood restaurant. Better yet — take a peek into one of our beautiful old churches.

If you've got time for outdoor fun, this site has suggestions for reunion planners and sports enthusiasts. Our parks and recreation facilities frame the natural beauty of the Piedmont foothills, and the Winston Lake Golf Course is one of the most challenging in North Carolina.

In fact, no matter where the setting or whatever your pleasure, we're sure you'll find something to enjoy in Winston-Salem.
