Yet, with many of its small towns tucked in between the major highways, the Old North State is packed with history, good food, and museums in places where you least expect it. Roughly halfway between Raleigh and Wilmington lies the small community of Warsaw, renowned for its Veterans' Day celebrations and its downtown in the National Register of Historic Places. Part of that heritage is celebrated at the town's only museum, dedicated to preserving and sharing Duplin County's military heritage. Its position between two of North Carolina's main hubs makes it easy to reach both by air or on four wheels. Warsaw is less than an hour's drive away from Wilmington (59 miles), and approximately one hour away from Raleigh (71 miles), with the closest regional airport being Albert J. Ellis Airport in nearby Richlands (35 miles away).
