Goldsboro was originally known as Goldsborough, and was an important railway town back in the early 18th century. As such, the town has a long history and plenty of historic attractions. You can get a glimpse of the old days in Goldsborough by visiting the Old Waynesborough Park, where a collection of historic buildings can be toured. Also of interest to historians are the Goldsboro Bridge Battlefield and the Wayne County Museum. If you enjoy outdoor pursuits you can visit the Cliffs of the Neuse State Park where you can go hiking, fishing, swimming, kayaking and wildlife watching. Other fun activities include guided Ghost Tours, Downtown Art Mural walks, and more.
