Welcome to Wilson, NC, one of the state’s hidden gems filled with growth, opportunity, excitement, and more. When the first English American settlers reached what is now known as Wilson in the 18th century, they most likely didn’t expect the region to develop into such a diversely opportune community comprised of various educational, social, business, and farming advancements.
Wilson encompasses a vibrant and safe community where its award-winning downtown offers a surplus of wonders. Check out the highly acclaimed Theater of the American South in the spring, and enjoy the kick-off of November at the Whirligig Festival. Pass through downtown for a leisure day of dining, shopping, music, historic walking tours, museums, art galleries, antiquing, and more. And don’t forget to enjoy the beautiful weather day in and day out; it always supplies an ideal day for boating, hiking, fishing, and other recreational excitement.
