Benson, North Carolina is a unique community where the downtown
still thrives and bustles with traffic. Storefronts are 90%
filled and one can walk |
anywhere
to shop, eat or just visit in this town.
A railroad still runs through the center
of town carrying products from Florida to the Northern
States. Interestingly enough, towns were built around the
railroad junctions as Benson was back in the 1800's. |

|
A depot was erected and passengers would board the train and
supplies were loaded or unloaded to maintain the farm life many
lives and kept the storekeepers in merchandise. Today the
depot is gone but the train still comes through whistling it's
presence as it rambles down the tracks warning the travelers to
stop. |

Benson sits at the intersection of I95 and I40 and a primary
location for those wishing to live a quiet quality way of life
while having access to Raleigh, Fayetteville, and the Research
Triangle Park, all within one hour drive. The beach is one
and one-half hours away and the mountains approximately three so
one is never very far |
 |
from great
vacation spots. There are over thirty churches which shows a
strong spiritual value in the Benson community and the Benson Area
Chamber of Commerce is very active in promoting the area through
activities for the family and encouraging businesses to prosper. |
| Benson
is Americana- a small town, quiet and safe to raise
children. Neighbors know neighbors, people walk and jog the
streets and the historical district is very attractive. It
is a community dedicated to family and a way of life children can
safely grow up. |
