A small but very informative railway museum in this area. The railroad was of crucial economic importance to Wilmington and the surrounding region.

The Greenfield Lake Fragrance Garden on Greenfield Lake is in Wilmington, North Carolina and a great place to spend an afternoon. There are gazebos, the landscaped garden of fragrant flowers, and walking trails that look out over the lake.

From here you have a good view of the USS North Carolina. She served in the Pacific from 1941 to 1961 during World War II. The ship can be visited, but you have to cross the river (by car)
