I selected museum as The Biltmore House is a must see and a great day trip. The house is one of the largest in the country and is still privately owned, yet open to the public. There is so much history and very interesting. They decorate according to the seasons and Christmas is a gorgeous time to go.

The Road to Nowhere is a great hiking adventure and had lots of history. Google this site and read about the history. It's a quiet and peaceful area. When you start your hike, you walk through a long tunnel to the trails. Many also horseback ride the trails, but you'll need to bring your own house.
