Morganton is small, safe yet close enough to large
Actually grew up in Morganton, NC and it is a small town in the foothills of western NC. Outdoor possibilities are quite endless with Lake James, Mtns, State Parks etc. Culture on the other hand is very limited and even though it does have a liberal arts community college, the mind set is fairly closed minded. One hour west is Asheville, NC and there are many cultural events to enjoy in that city. Morganton is a good place to raise a family in a quiet subdued kind of way. I would suggest you visit several times before actually transplanting.
