New Bern, North Carolina

The royal governor built himself the finest public building in the colonies at New Bern in 1770 and taxed backcountry farmers to pay for it, which helped start the Regulator uprising. It served as the first state capitol, burned in 1798, and was rebuilt from the original drawings in the 1950s, gardens and all. The reconstruction sits on the original foundations at the head of its own street.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
