There are many limited engagent exhibits as well as long term ones so it's a great place to visit 2-3 times a year. It's free and surrounded by other cheap or free places to visit. We take most people who visit us.

Great place for history lovers

Average Rating

We have been members of the Museum for several years. They have both permanent exhibits - mostly related to North Carolina history - and special exhibits, which are often fascinating. The gift shop/book store is well stocked with North Carolina books and crafts - a great place to buy gifts for special friends.

The Extras

The museum is spacious and you'll want to save time for the gift shop, but you can usually go through it in an afternoon and not even be museum-weary.
