PIEDMONT TRIAD

The Piedmont Triad

Winston Salem, Greensboro, and High Point sit between Charlotte and the Triangle. They do not get enough attention. That is starting to change.

EXPLORE THE TRIAD

Three Cities Worth Your Time

Winston Salem NC
WINSTON SALEM

Winston Salem

Winston Salem is the arts hub of the Triad. Visit the Reynolda House and the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. The craft beer scene is great too, with spots like Foothills Brewing and Wise Man Brewing.
Greensboro NC
GREENSBORO

Greensboro

Greensboro has history, college energy, and a lively downtown. The International Civil Rights Center and Museum is one of the most important museums in the South.
High Point NC
HIGH POINT

High Point

High Point is the furniture capital of the world. The High Point Market brings buyers from 100 countries twice a year. When the market is not running, downtown is still worth a visit.
