Old Salem Museums & Gardens

Address: 900 Old Salem Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27101, USA

Travel agency Museum

“Wow! We stayed here as part of our Harvest Host membership. We really did not know what to expect when we booked this great HH! I haven't been to a living history neighborhood since I was a kid and we really enjoyed it. Upon arriving we entered and received a very thorough overview of what was open and a little history of Old Salem. Purchased our tickets and set off. Make sure to arrive early as you will want to spend some time touring the homes and shops. We enjoyed the whole village even though we arrived a little late. We checked out all of the open houses and really learned a lot. Parking area was paved and not so level but the auto level was able to correct without any blocks under the jacks. We expected a little more noise for being so close to downtown but it was super quiet! When we woke up we walked through the village again and spent some time on church street exploring more of the neighborhood. We were the only ones there for the night so we had this place all to ourself. We enjoyed or stay here and will plana return trip once some of the other houses open again.”

Mebane Historical Museum

Address: 209 W Jackson St, Mebane, NC 27302, USA

Museum

“We came here to check out the train display. My children loved looking at all of trains going around and pushing the buttons to make things move! There are several different rooms full of trains to look at. There's a large tree with tracks going up and down in it! There's even a train going around the ceiling! Right outside of the train museum, there was a nice playground that was fenced in! My only complaint is that there's no sign directly in front of the building and where we parked, we couldn't see the train signs. We went into the historical museum and when asked about the trains, we were rudely informed that we were in the wrong area. I had never heard of this historical museum before, but after encountering this rude staff member, I can see why people might not want to recommend it to others.”

Burwell School Historic Site

Address: 319 N Churton St, Hillsborough, NC 27278, USA

Museum

“This is a Hidden Gem. I have lived here for 55 years and did not know about it. It gives a great historical perspective of life in North Carolina from 1800 to the present time. It's free but they ask for a donation which after seeing how well maintained it is and the knowledge of the tour guide, you have no problem donating. This is one of the best non-profit organizations I have seen relating to the history of North Carolina. It would be great for kids to give them an understanding of the history of this area of North Carolina.”

Regardless of the why the Ramseur Community Museum is for you. It's got a little bit of everything to, they've got a little bit of military memorabilia, antique toys, antique gardening equipment and so much more. There was even a movie shot in Ramseur called Killers Three and there are memorabilia pertaining to that there. Also if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, the ladies there are very knowledgeable and kind. If they don't know the answer to your question then they will try their best to find out. They are constantly looking to improve the Ramseur Community Museum also so just because you've been there doesn't mean that you shouldn't go back, it could be a bit different from the first time or there could be some new things that wasn't there the last time you went. Remember they are open the fourth weekend of every month. Saturday from 10am - 4pm and Sunday from 2pm - 4pm. If you liked what I had to say please hit the like button and let me know.
