Throughout my thirteen years in the Richmond County School system, I have been richly blessed with great teachers; each contributing to the young woman I have become. Although all have inspired me in some way, there is one special teacher who stands head and shoulders above the rest! This special teacher has inspired me to pursue my education in the healthcare field; assisting me in my decision to become a social worker. She offers a plethora of knowledge and compassion both inside and outside of the classroom. She exemplifies honesty, integrity and love for all those she meets. You can be certain that this teacher always greets me at her door with a smile. She is readily available to lend a helping hand or just to be a shoulder to lean on. She always gives 100% to her job and other responsibilities as a teacher. She has instilled in me to never give up, and to keep going until I reach my goal and fulfill my dreams. This special teacher is Mrs. Cherie Deese! I can truly say that it has been a blessing to be one of her students! Thank you, Mrs. Deese for the impact and difference you have made in my life!

You may know us from our rich racing history that begins with The Rock, but we are much more than that. We are a community of natural riches, with pristine forests, unspoiled rivers, and fertile farmland. We are the perfect entrance to North Carolina's Central Park, and the perfect escape for people who want to experience the great outdoors. Our preserved prehistoric Indian mound and woodlands are untouched since the days of discovery. A culture of family farms is alive and well in the numerous farms, peach orchards, and the vineyard. Richmond County is a very different place from a more traditional time, where we respect the lands and waters and the friends and families we call neighbors. From the railroad history in Hamlet to the fruit stands in Ellerbe and Norman, from the game lands around Hoffman to the historic courthouse town of Rockingham, Richmond County provides an authentic experience of true southern charm.
Find your Getaway from the everyday. Children from all over the region flock to Discovery Place Kids to laugh and learn. Sportsmen retreat here to hunt the lush longleaf pine woodlands of the Sandhills, get a unique wing-shooting experience at a nationally known hunting plantation, or even compete in field trials and sporting clays. Adventures come to our scenic rivers and roads for canoeing, hiking, running and biking experiences that are second to none.
In Richmond County, we firmly believe that everyone deserves a break. We are proud to live in a place that allows us to take a vacation every day. Whether it is outdoor adventure, agritourism, culture, history, or motorsports, we have it! We invite you to be our guest, experience our warmth and see what it means when we say, find your getaway in Richmond County, NC.
We love Richmond County tourists and visitors, so please come see us!
