Retreats & Workshops with a Historic Flair
The Historic Brookstown Inn in Winston-Salem NC
The Historic Brookstown Inn in The Old Salem Historic District near downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A short stroll to Old Salem Museums & Gardens and MESDA, the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. The Inn started its life as Salem Manufacturing Company and was one of the first mills in the south to utilize electric lighting. The seventy guest room inn includes a large courtyard and a grand ballroom accommodating our quilters! The hotel breakfast room features a full, hot southern breakfast each morning and the Cotton Mill Lounge (just outside the sewing room) hosts wine and cheese each night for guests. Plus who can forget the evening cookies & milk.
Late September and early November is the perfect time to visit the Piedmont of North Carolina.
Berry Hill Resort in South Boston VA
