East of Raleigh.
West of the Coast.
A short drive to fun.

Nestled midway between the Atlantic Ocean and the city of Raleigh, historic Farmville is centrally-located for visitors and residents of eastern North Carolina.

Just jump on Highway 264 / 587 from either direction and be here in an hour or less. Or hop on a country road and enjoy the beautiful surrounding farmland on the way into town.

This town is full of surprises around every corner – shopping, food, and arts, but with all the small southern charm you’d expect. Like we say in Farmville, “don’t let the name fool you!”
