You can almost feel the patriotic spirit in the air in your new home, Fayetteville.

Sitting just 30 minutes from Fort Bragg—the largest army base in America by population with over 238,000 military personnel—Fayetteville is home to many current and former military members and is packed with museums like the 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum, the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Museum, the Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex, and the Airborne & Special Operations Museum. While you're visiting the latter, be sure to say hello to Iron Mike, the 16-foot statue honoring US paratroopers that stands valiantly out front.

Just as your new neighbors help protect the country, you can help protect your home by investing in a home security system from ADT. With more than 140 years in business, ADT offers experience you can trust. You'll get 24/7 monitoring, remote control from your mobile device, and home automation.

Once the holidays come around, fill up on cider and gingerbread at Fayetteville's unique Dickens Holiday, where downtown is transformed to a Victorian-era village, complete with horse-drawn carriages, costumed vendors, and some of Charles Dickens' most celebrated characters—like Ebenezer Scrooge—coming to life by strolling through the festivities in picture-worthy fashion.

And at almost any time of year, join your fellow Fayettevillers each month to explore local art during Fourth Fridays. Downtown lights up with live music, exhibits, and refreshments—all for free! It's the perfect way to immerse yourself in local culture and fun. Welcome to your new Tarheel State home, folks.
