4.5Airlie Gardens(1.122 reviews) - Lots of Birds Historic Sites
I'm a bird watcher. At home I participate in something called Feeder Watch each winter. So this place was for me. I was able to photograph several species I had not seen before. The gardens are large and most of the trails are paved. For our visit, they also were decorated for their Christmas night-time light shows, but tickets - at least for the weekend we were there - were all sold out. As a military retiree me it cost only $5.00 each for not only me, but also my wife. Regular adult admission is $10.00. The only restrooms are at the gift shop/cashier, so beware if you intend to be there for several hours. They are clean.See more..

4.5Bellamy Mansion(621 reviews) - Take guided tour or audio add on Sunday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings
We managed to arrive just before the start of a guided tour so we opted to spend the extra money to have a well versed volunteer with a small group. I highly recommend this option as the mansion is more about the history of the mansion, surrounding area and family facts rather than the contents of the home. Our guide was able to gain access to spots that general admission does not allow. We watched many folks meandering around without really knowing what they were seeing. Our experience was much more detailed and provided good insights and information. The Mansion has very little in the way of furnishings so without the extra docent led tour highlights it is not much of an experience. There are a few actual original pieces but most items inside are reproductions or acquired from other locations.See more..

With Covid implementations in place the park rangers have a station set up outside of the museums for a map of the driving/walking tour and to answer questions. The museum is open but limited for interactive exhibits and no movie in the theater. The gift shop is also closed. That said, the tour itself was pretty remarkable. Knowing you are walking in the footsteps in history was awe inspiring. There isn't too much in terms of buildings or fortifications but the markers at each stop help tell the story.See more..

I recommend stopping here to learn about the end of the Civil War.See more..
4.5Reed Gold Mine(170 reviews) - Don't miss this museum if you are in the area. Sunday: Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites
Who knew all this interesting info about gold and a gold rush in North Carolina?! The 2 docents working in the visitors center on sat Oct 3, 2020 were great! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We watched the intro film first and then went into the mine. We had a beautiful day so spent quite awhile on the self guided tour of the mine and the property. There is a shaded picnic area to take advantage of as well. The historical artifacts housed in the visitors center are eye opening! Wait till you see those and read about them. I can't imagine where they found all this cool stuff. The mine itself is quite far underground so is cold. The thermometer we saw said 47. Bring a sweater or jacket. Please go if you are at all interested as you won't be sorry. I can't imagine working in a mine for 10 or 12 hours a day. Such hard, hard work.See more..

4.0Market House(94 reviews) - Bit of History Historic Sites

4.5Pisgah Covered Bridge(78 reviews) - Relaxing Moment in Time Historic Sites • Bridges
This is a great side trip. About 15 minutes off the interstate, this is a great way to step back in time. The bridge has a small parking area with some well maintained picnic tables. The sound of the stream under the bridge is so relaxing that it is a welcome calm to just sit and relax. There is a nice nature train that takes you over the bridge. They also have steps to go down and wade is the water around the bridge, you can also wade on the trail. This is a great way to spend and hour or two and just decompress. The one thing we noticed is that vandals have painted graffiti on almost every inch inside the bridge. It is unfortunate that people would disrespect such a great old landmark (It's just sad). We will be back with a lunch for a great picnic.See more..
4.5Blandwood(75 reviews) - Well worth your time... Historic Sites
... if you like Antiques Roadshow, or are interested in 19th century US history or architecture or North Carolina. If you're under 12, this tour is not for you -- it's at least an hour and you can't touch anything! I loved it -- Ryan did an excellent job as our tour guide. As others have said, the house doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is absolutely beautiful. The preservationists have done an outstanding job. At seven or eight dollars, for so much information in a small group with lots of chances to ask questions -- this is a bargain. I'm so glad I stopped by -- a highlight of my trip to NC. Well done, everyone.See more..

This is a very interesting place to visit to learn about farm life in turn of the century North Carolina. The hosts are very knowledgeable about this working farm and you are free to explore the grounds and tour this beautiful old farmhouse at your leisure. We were greeted by a friendly white cat as soon as we entered the visitor center as well as a beautiful beagle, and then by a very friendly mule, “Charlie”, as we walked down the path to the farm and entered the pasture and barn area. There are goats and chickens too. The house is very interesting with period furnishings, gorgeous hand made quilts, etc and is a very unique step back in time. There is a gift shop at the visitor center and since it is a working farm, they sell the vegetables they grow on the farm in season. It’s a very educational experience for adults and children alike!See more..
I recently visited Southern Pines and decided to explore this Center. I didn't really realize it was the home of the Boyd family as I had driven over for the NC Literary Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is actually in what was an office, and all of it is well worth a few hours of time. The home is well preserved with helpful notes for the rooms as well as the Hall of Fame. Additionally, there are beautiful gardens out back that connect into walking trails. I not only enjoyed my visit, but was delighted to meet Marianna-the Office Manager, who is quite knowledgeable about the Center, the Boyd family, the Hall of Fame and the town itself. For those that live in the area, there appear to be many events at the Center, but again, its well worth a few hours if in the area. Really enjoyed my visit.See more..

The main building where you can watch a film about the site is close however the film is on their website. Bathrooms are open and there is park staff there. They are still selling soda and waters for $1.00 each. Even with some of the buildings close we spent about an hour there. There is a nice nature trail that wraps around the site which takes about 20 min to walk. I highly recommend bug spray before you go.See more..

3.5Chinqua Penn Plantation(35 reviews) - So sorry this is gone Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Castles
I have not been to this place in many years. It is such a shame t has fallen on such disrepair. When he Penn's owned the property, Mr. Penn bought, disassembled and rebuilt a windmill from Holland. The Penn's hired my Grandfather to do some work on the windmill. I understand the Penn's held parties inside the windmill. The windmill burned down but the footprint and fireplace were still there. When I was a child, my Dad drove us to the plantation. The caretaker, a Mr. Talley knew my Grandfather. The Penn's were travelling overseas and Mr. Talley let us come through the gates and let us go all over the grounds. It was magical. When I visited years later, there was disrepair and the windmill area is in the pasture area of the farm, but it was still beautiful. I am so sad that this place is no longer an attraction. Year 1980'sSee more..
