Greater Cleveland Attractions
Visitors can enjoy several attractions in Johnston County. The Bentonville Battlefield is the location of the last major battle of the Civil War and the largest military engagement ever fought on North Carolina soil.
Atkinson’s Mill, a working gristmill dating back two hundred and forty years, and The Tobacco Farm Life Museum preserve an authentic slice of eastern North Carolina’s rural heritage. The Ava Gardner Museum celebrates the career of the film legend that was born and raised near Smithfield.
The Johnston County Heritage Center preserves the history and material culture of Johnston County with an exceptional collection of materials that includes two thousand books, eight hundred reels of microfilm, three hundred maps and atlases, fifty thousand photographic images, four hundred private collections of books and papers, and vertical files on genealogy, biography, and local history.
County historian and Cleveland native, Margaret Lee, offers local residents a wealth of knowledge about our County’s rich history.
