Durham is a vibrant city in North Carolina's Research Triangle region, known for its transformation from a tobacco and textile manufacturing center to a hub of education, research, and culture. Home to Duke University, the city combines historic architecture with modern innovation.

The former tobacco warehouses and textile mills have been thoughtfully repurposed into cultural spaces, restaurants, and offices, preserving the city's industrial heritage. Durham's diverse cultural scene is reflected in its numerous museums, performance venues, and educational institutions. The city's history is deeply intertwined with both the civil rights movement and the development of the American tobacco industry, providing rich cultural context for visitors. The Durham Performing Arts Center and various cultural venues throughout the city offer regular programming in theater, music, and dance.
