There are parking lots on both sides of the building, as well as some spots in front. The Mims Gallery has some great exhibits that I haven't seen anywhere else.

When you arrive, there are marked parking spots and I saw the large baseball with the NC Baseball Museum sign so just entered the gate and made my way in that direction. It is on the left side of the field. The museum is staffed by volunteers. I was welcomed when I arrived and given an overview of the museum. Then before I left, I got my questions answered and was show the new museum piece from Josh Hamilton. He even looked up all that played on the Mets for me as I was curious. So I appreciated that a lot. The museum was much larger than I expected as there are two large rooms. I didn't give myself enough time to view the museum as I arrived near closing time. I had been planning to visit the following day but the museum page and online sites had differing hours so I decided the website was likely the better source. So that just means a return trip is in order especially knowing what a gem this museum is. The first room is of those from North Carolina that played in the major leagues and the other room has college baseball and others that played in the MLB. I loved the history here and seeing the artifacts and reading about the players. I highly recommend this museum if you are a baseball fan.

Most recently Java gave birth to adorable chocolate lab puppies. Elsa, an 11-month old white lab from Gwen and Gus' recent litter was also there with her father. Megan and Jeff own the farm and give farm tours after yoga to see the chickens and goats. Yoga is run by Victory Power Yoga. All classes are outside so dress accordingly. They provide yoga mats. I recommend bringing a towel. If you bring a water bottle or purse they have tables set up to place your items. I did not realize it at first and set my things next to the mat. The puppies loved to play with my purse and water bottle. They have an indoor bathroom and shop (Puptique). The yoga class was excellent. Appropriate for all ages and skill levels. The class was run well even with all the distracting puppies running around. Surprisingly I was still able to relax and stretch while playing with the dogs. Ample time was available before and after to play and take pictures. Parking is available on the lawn out front. There was ample spaces and room to pull in and out (plus a turn around area if needed). Overall, we had a lovely morning here. I highly recommend checking them out!
