If that lot is full there is another lot by the Museum Annex. Admission is also free. The Museum is inside a restored railroad depot for the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad. The museum displays have a lot to read if you choose or you can just look at the artifacts, so make sure to give yourself enough time. The museum covers many topics from fashion to banking to the railroad to the Cape Fear River to Civil War to law enforcement to the fire department to books about Fayetteville. Each topic has a section for you to learn about. The museum is on two levels and you can use the stairs or take the elevator. The Museum Annex is a short walk away and had displays with vintage cars; a gas station; an 1880 Steam Pump Engine and provides history about the fire department. Make sure to check out both buildings of the museum. I enjoyed my visit to this museum and some of the exhibits rotate so I need to go back again.

I hate to see old buildings go down, but eventually this building is not gonna make it. I did try to walk around to get a feeling of what used to be - not a lot to see, but you can tell it's an old building. The seats are horribly, horribly uncomfortable. I wish I could talk to someone about possibly trying to get this renovated, but I just got here so I'm not sure on what can happen maybe more to follow.

As a soldier you get to appreciate a working AC specially in a hot and humid training week with 50+ more soldiers training in the same location. From the outside the building looks like any other main post old theater from any other base. You go inside and it is the same sucky smelly restrooms and everything else is the same. Overall, is well kept. The parking lot is on the side and on the back of the building. There are only 3 stalls per gender restroom. You may enter parking lot through the back from Reilly Road to Sedgewick Street. The Old Theater Main Post is in the corner of Reilly Rd and Macomb.

Brief perusal unveiled some interesting history; the Carolinas seem to care more about their colonial era, whereas I really don't recall the period prior to the American Revolution getting much coverage in any history I learned growing up. The outdoor spaces carry some intrigue, though you'll never get away from the traffic noise. More construction in the area is coming I think. I would not say go to Fayetteville for the museum scene, but having explored this one I thought it worth a stop if you are there.

Very lovely historic cottage located on its original foundation in Moore County, North Carolina. I…read morealways try to take my guests here. This is as historical as it gets in the Sandhills and I enjoy it every time I see it. From their website: The Shaw House is typical of the antebellum houses which followed the cabins of the early Sandhills settlers. It is less elaborate than the seacoast plantations and has the charm and sturdy simplicity which was characteristic of the Scottish families who settled in this region. The interior is highlighted by fine detail on two hand-carved fireplace mantels of unusual beauty, and by many outstanding early examples of Moore County pottery and "plain-style" pine furniture. A wing was added to the house in the mid-1800s and a kitchen was added sometime in the 1920s. Charles C. Shaw, a first-generation Scottish settler, acquired 2,500 acres and built the house around 1820. The date of 1842 on the chimney is thought to have been the year that the front porch and the two attached "travelers' rooms" were added. One of his 12 children, Charles Washington Shaw, inherited the property and lived in the house, becoming the first mayor of Southern Pines in 1887. The house remained in the Shaw family until it was acquired in 1946 by the newly formed Moore County Historical Association in a grassroots effort to ensure its preservation.

The ticket prices are more than reasonable given the show that is put on for you.
