Went here to waste some time with the young kids. $6 admission for everyone. (Had a 2 yr old and 7…read moreyr old + my own admission $18) for a few hours spent here it wasn't too bad. Staff was huddled in the painting area. Kids were running around freely as to be expected. Just slightly disappointed with some of the zones. A lot of them were missing items that you would need to interact with and some just had a few items that looked like donated toys from goodwill. For what it's worth it's not a bad space to spend a couple of hours. But my kids got bored pretty quickly. Bathrooms were semi clean. But did have the tools needed for toddlers potty training. Overall not too bad. I wouldn't come here every week. Just once every now and then maybe.

The Graham Historical Museum is located in Downtown Graham. There are free parking spaces out front…read moreand a parking lot next door that makes it convenient. The bright red door is easy to spot. The museum is just open Friday and Saturdays. No admission is charged and we couldn't find anywhere to leave a donation. The building that houses the museum was built in 1911 and where a fire station once was. A 1930 firetruck remains in the building. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and given a notepad and pen that we could use to sign into the guest book. The souvenirs were a nice way of keeping us safe from COVID. The staff wore masks as did all visitors to the museum. The director gave us a personal tour of the museum that we did not expect but provided a lot of background information of the town from photos to exhibits. It is nice that the town's history has been preserved. There is a North Carolina flag that was flown at the county courthouse. Other items show everyday life including the ledger register for payments made and receipts. One exhibit recognizes a hometown celebrity that was Miss Carolina and has many of her awards. The Coca Cola sign from the soda fountain shop is also displayed. I was most excited about the 1930 firetruck and equipment. I'm always amazed what these firefighters could do with so little available at the time. The second floor recognizes the athletes in the area and there is also a small library. The second floor can only be reached by going up stairs. The museum is a great addition to Graham's history.

This is one of the best historic sites we have visited!…read more Alamance Battleground is located about 10 minutes off of I-40/I-85. The restrooms are clean, and the visitor center is kept neat! The guy working today gave us about a 15 minute history brief about the events leading up to the Battle of Alamance, and how it led up to the Revolutionary War. This was way better than their videos at historic sites! There are about 9 points of interest at the historic site. 7 are in the main area while 2 are on the other side of the road. There are two half mile nature trails, one in the main area and the other in the other side of the road. Parking shouldn't be an issue unless busy.

This beautifully preserved textile mill and village is worth a visit to experience the lives of…read moremill hands who lived and worked in the 19th and 20th century mill villages. Workers would live in company-subsidized housing and work in the mill. They'd get their supplies from the general store and their paychecks from the administrative offices. It was all "right there." These workers would build their families here. It was an eye-opening experience. I'm glad I got a chance to visit. I recommend strolling around the historic village or hiking one of the nature trails that begin here.
