Graham Reviews

Write a review about Graham Tell people what you like or don't like about Graham…
Enjoying The Comforts Of A Small Town 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Graham is a small town that is part of Burlington, NC. Even though it's smaller, there are quite a few things to do in the area, and Burlington is a short distance away, which means that I can easily travel to shopping centers, restaurants, and special events. Burlington is known ...Read More as a textile town. There are numerous factories, many that are still open and operating on a daily basis. The number of factories makes it easier to find a job while living in the quiet town of Graham without living near larger apartment complexes of the congestion that a bigger city offers.

I've lived here for five years, and there's something new that I discover all the time. Cedarock Park is an outdoor attraction that is fun to go to if you like history. There are cabins on the property with furniture and details that look like what people would have in the earlier days. Alamance Arts is another attraction I like to visit. The art gallery is located in an older home with each room transformed to showcase artwork from people who live in the area. Read Less
