Greensboro Insider Guide

The Gate City sits within the Piedmont Triad along I-40, I-73, and I-85, giving easy access for travel and accessibility. With a relaxed and well-planned Piedmont International Airport, it’s an easy location for travel. As a city, Greensboro is often known for its role in the Revolutionary War as well as the Greensboro Four Sit-Ins at the Woolworth Co. – now the site of the International Civil Rights Museum in downtown Greensboro.
