Graham is the seat of Alamance County; it's located almost smack-dab in the center of the county, a ten-minute drive from downtown Burlington and a half-hour from Greensboro, Chapel Hill, and Durham. Though it's the county seat, it's smaller than Burlington, so if you're looking for small city charm and warmth with an energetic vibe, Graham may be a perfect fit! 

Downtown Graham, anchored by the stately, historic county courthouse, is loaded with cultural and culinary destinations, and has an active entertainment schedule, including musical events, arts festivals, and parades. Below are some of our favorite things to do in Graham!

Eat and drink: Downtown Graham has a variety of bars and restaurants. You can often find us grabbing dinner at The Verdict, snacking on coffee and crepes at Press Coffee + Crepes, or relaxing in the beer garden at Forgotten Road Ales.

Learn and grow: Graham has two outstanding downtown cultural destinations. Alamance Arts brings big city-quality exhibitions and educational programming to art enthusiasts of all ages, and the Children's Museum of Alamance focuses on education through play.

Get outdoors: Launch your canoe or kayak onto the scenic Haw River Paddle Trail at Graham Paddle Access. Or stick to dry ground and run wild at Graham Regional Park on the awesome playground (it has a zip line, an obstacle course, and climbing boulders!), park trails, and ball fields.

Your HBR agent would love to tell you more about vibrant little Graham, the city in the heart of Alamance!
