Confederate Arms Factory, Trails signs at the intersection of Routes 11 and 903 – Weapons and other supplies for the Confederate armies were produced here beginning in March 1863 and continuing, with a few interruptions, through June 1864. Among the items manufactured here were swords, bayonets, Bowie knives, buttons, surgical instruments and knapsacks.

Historic Kenansville Spring
Legend states that Barbara Gastor Beverett discovered the spring in the early 1700’s while searching for gold.  The abundant water was the deciding factor in locating the county seat here.  The cool waters continue to flow today just off Duplin Street, across the street from the courthouse. 

Kenan Memorial Amphitheatre
A 1,000-seat amphitheater hosting seasonal stage shows under the stars, located behind Kenan Memorial Auditorium in Kenansville.  The amphitheatre was constructed to host the return performance of Duplin’s historical drama, The Liberty Cart in the 1970s.  That play is no longer in production.

The Stockyard Flea Market
Foul or fine weather, a horde of vendors arrive before dawn each Thursday at Wells Livestock Market in Wallace to set up their wares on the dirt lot outside the auction shed, now more famous for its open air flea market than its livestock sales. The long-time Thursday morning flea market is commonly known only as “the stockyard” and it attracts bargain hunters, antique hawks, and those hungry for homemade treats, produce or fruits, and fresh seafood from all parts of the state and beyond.  The stockyard is located along NC highway 117 on the north side of town. There are no formalities for this flea market, no reservations for vendors, no admission for shoppers, no open and close times, but there can be limited parking.  Over the past years, the Stockyard has expanded its open air market to include Saturday hours, too.

Buckner Hill Plantation
One of the largest antebellum plantation houses in North Carolina, recently restored Buckner Hill House (1855) still surrounded by hundreds of acres of  cotton, corn, tobacco and cattle,  provides a  rare view of original, mostly  undisturbed Greek Revival plantation architecture.

Built by highly skilled African-American labor for the Hill family on the site of their previous plantation house (c.1700s), Buckner Hill House also has Italianate features and an unusual cruciform floor plan with wide halls on both floors crossing in the center of the house. A wealthy physician and landowner, Dr. Buckner Lanier Hill, began the project in the 1850s. The house has undergone very few modifications in its 150-year history.

Original marbleizing, mahogany and rosewood graining, and all of the ornate plaster cornices in the house survive. The frame structure is constructed of centuries-old heart pine from the virgin forests of the New World. Much of the wood for the 1855 house was recycled for use from the previous dwelling, built in the 1700s. The house appears in North Carolina Architecture, which notes “when the wide double doors on all four sides of the house are thrown open, the broad passages that meet at the center of the dwelling become a vast interior porch.” This area was also used by the family as a ballroom. In June, 2001, filming of a major motion picture concluded at the house for the “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” (released in 2002). Appointments are required.
