Rockingham County's affordability and close proximity to the
Piedmont Triad make it an attractive designation for homebuyers looking to relocate to the region. The Piedmont Triad is a region of North Carolina in the Piedmont that consists of the area centered around the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Highpoint, and Burlington. The area is connected by Interstate Highways 40, 85, 73, and 74 and is served by the Piedmont Triad International Airport. It has long been known as one of the primary manufacturing and transportation hubs of the southeastern United States.

The county is made up of six municipalities: the cities of Eden and Reidsville, and the towns of Madison, Mayodan, Stoneville and Wentworth. Specialty shopping can be found in each. You'll find shops filled with a plethora of extraordinary items, including choice fashions and apparel, exquisite rugs, magnificent home furnishings, stunning crystal and rare antiques. One of our finest jewels is Karastan, which has been making some of the world's most beautiful carpets and rugs here for almost seventy-five years.

Rockingham County's lakes and rivers are a haven for water sports and outdoor enthusiasts. Belews Lake in western Rockingham County spans more than eighty-eight miles and over thirty eight hundred acres. Here, lake view homesites offer breathtaking scenery.

Lake Reidsville offers more than seven hundred fifty acres of action-packed fun, from camping, fishing, boating, water skiing, hiking, picnicking and more.

Finally, Rockingham County's terrain is the perfect setting for some of the most scenic and challenging golf courses in the region. Our moderate climate makes golf a year-round sport.

The McMichael Civic Center

A twelve plus million dollar civic center will be built on the campus of Rockingham Community College in Wentworth, our county seat. The McMichael Civic Center plans include an exhibit hall with flexible space to accommodate trade shows, conferences, and large meal functions. The performing arts theater's 1000-seat design will make it the ideal setting for musical concerts, theatrical productions and guest lecture presentations. The center will also house offices for non-profit and community organizations. An exhibition gallery area, reception lobby, outdoor plaza and gardens complete the center's plan to make it a true center of activity for Rockingham County.

Horse Park of the South, Piedmont Triad N.C.

Rockingham County has secured a 152-acre tract at the corner of Barnes St. and Hwy 29 – future Interstate 785, for a proposed multi-purpose equestrian center. Rockingham County would host the only such facility between Raleigh, NC, Lexington, VA, and Ashville, NC. This geographic location is even more significant due to the lack of a larger multi-purpose equestrian center within a 100-mile radius of Central Piedmont North Carolina (including South/Central Virginia). Though served by several smaller, mostly private centers for sale of livestock and other farm produce, the area is not served by any type of multi-purpose center with training facilities. RockinghamCounty is ideally positioned to fill this geographic gap in equestrian facilities.
