LENOIR COUNTY

Lenoir County is a blend of agriculture and manufacturing with an inviting presence that entices visitors to come and break bread, enjoy libation and recollect a simpler time. 

Lenoir County’s deep-rooted tobacco, mercantile, and farming history has emerged into a resurgence featuring farm-fresh, award-winning dining, a vibrant arts scene, and music that touches the soul and lifts the spirit. 

Arts Neighborhoods, the African American Music Trail, a Music Park, Civil War battlefields and museums, gunboats and our Riverwalk create adventures at every turn. America’s game is in full swing when the Down East Wood Ducks Minor League Baseball team is in town. 

Lenoir County offers visitors “gracious plenty” whether at the table, family fun, discovering the past or a special night out! Stroll along the streets of downtown Kinston and you will develop a new appreciation for the unique culture, heritage, history and flavors of southern life.
