The document provides information about a North Carolina Mountains to the Sea trip to explore historical structures across different regions of the state. Students are asked to complete a Venn diagram comparing two of the structures and participate in a class discussion about the role of historical homes in North Carolina's history and how they have contributed to the unique character of the state. The document then describes several historical sites along the trip route, including the Biltmore Estate, State Capital building, Hope Plantation, Tryon Palace, and Carl Sandburg Home.
