Brightleaf Square

Spend a couple hours exploring Brightleaf Square, a unique mix of locally-owned restaurants and shops in a pair of historic tobacco warehouses. Enjoy the courtyard and distinctly Durham shopping and dining. Nearby, spot local landmarks like the historic Chesterfield building sign and the 11-foot-8-inch bridge known as “the can opener,” made famous after a Durham resident recorded the crashes of every truck cleaved by the overpass.
