Together, the cities of High
Point, Greensboro and Winston-Salem form

Greensboro, and High Point. Visitors will find the Piedmont
Triad area full
of fascinating attractions and events.
Many visitors come to explore the diverse shopping selections. High Point is
the home of the International
Home Furnishings Market and offers more than 70 retail furniture
outlets in the Home Furnishings Capital of the World™!
The abundance of highly respected educational institutions speaks for
itself. Area schools include Wake Forest
University, North
Carolina School of the Arts, Salem

trees. The many beautiful parks and recreational areas are exactly what you
need.
