Benson

Benson, North Carolina is located in historical Johnston County in the mid-central portion of NC at the crossroads and interchange of two heavily traveled highways. Interstate 95, the East Coast's north-south expressway and Interstate 40 have an interchange approximately one mile northeast of downtown Benson.  Benson’s 2.1 square miles of land holds 2,923 people, according to the 2003 census estimate.

Benson’s downtown area has been restored and its well maintained small town main street thrives and bustles with traffic. Storefronts are 90% occupied and you can easily walk anywhere to shop, eat or just visit. Replicas of turn-of-the-century oil-burning street lights adorn the main street sidewalks interspersed with manicured trees and a trim square of colorful flowers around each.  HSMM, a professional firm, focused on improving traffic circulation and making the downtown district more appealing to pedestrians.

The Benson Singing Grove Building & Stage is located in the two-acre park that parallels Main Street. This beautiful facility has dressing rooms and restroom facilities and is rented for everything from musical shows to weddings.   There is also a community building at the park location; this houses the Park & Recreation Dept. offices, the Senior Citizens Center, and has additional room rentals for private and civic gatherings. The residents of Benson have no lack of municipal access and what they do have is above average.

In September, Benson hosts Mule Days, a festival that draws more than 50,00 visitors to Benson. Starting with a golf tournament and parade, the festival is packed with rodeos, a mule-pulling contest, arts and crafts, vendors, street dances, carnival rides, camping, parades, bluegrass shows, and more. Benson Mule Days is run by the local Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by numerous local businesses, big and small. The festival was inducted into the Library of Congress in Washington, DC in May of 2000.
