American Tobacco Campus in Downtown Durham

A few Saturdays ago we headed to downtown Durham to explore the American Tobacco Campus. Tobacco is a central part of Durham's history, since that is how Washington Duke (founder of Duke university) made his fortune.

The landscaping was neat to see, especially the man made Old Bull River and the old train cars.

Notice the gator in the forefront??!! That was a fun surprise for our Florida family.

Another reason for the excursion was to find the cows. Durham is part of the "word's largest public art exhibit"-81 8ft. fiberglass cows that have been painted and placed at popular locations around the Triangle area. The kids loved finding the cows, so I am sure we will head out another day soon and find some more.
