During your training experience at CIT you will have many opportunities to go out and explore the mountainous, small town setting of western North Carolina.

We suggest that you begin exploring in the historic town of Rutherfordton which is about a 15 minute drive from the CIT campus. In Rutherfordton you will find several restaurants, a childrenʼs museum, a park, along with grocery and drug stores. Click here to visit a website highlighting other things to do on your visit.
