Easily a star visit and tells an incredible story that everyone should know. We appreciated the visit, front to back...the video, the museum, the tour, the structures. Consequential history was right here during one of the most important months of our nation.

Our guide was a history buff and asked thought-provoking questions. I appreciated that he gave immediate history of what preceded the surrender… and cultural context of what the officers/soldiers interactions were like during the surrender. My parents don’t like to walk too far - or stand for long periods of time - so this was comfortable for them. True southern hospitality from museum staff as well. Worth a visit!

Wonderful!! Loved it. So informative 👏. Helpers were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The video can be played for you if you ask the staff. Smart layout museum ✨️. The grounds would be a wonderful place for a family picnic 😊. Although we didn't pay for the tour, it's extremely reasonable. I wish we had, but timing did not allow.
Be sure to stop here where Sherman settled an agreement with Johnstone to end the war. Grab yourself a map of the many battlefields available here in North Carolina .

I loved everything about Bennett Place - the structures, the history, tge artifacts, the grounds, and the people. It is a well-kept area, and everyone was so kind and friendly. We were lucky enough to see Santa, have handmade treats, hot apple cider, and popcorn (all with their own histories and stories), and to watch the rifles being shot. Santa was beyond kind to my autistic granddaughter. It was a 10 out of 10 experience for us.

My wife and I took our 1 year old granddaughter here. They had some people reenacting the era. It was magnificent!! A low-key, relaxing, unique time. There are no big crowds and so many small details to enjoy. Kudos to the volunteers who really make this special.

If you're single, a couple, a family, or just some friends hanging out, this is a pretty cool experience. Don't go if you're looking for loud and adrenaline pumping. The lack of those are why this place is chill.

There is a nice museum here, too. Unfortunately, I only took one or two pictures inside to share. Entrance is free, but there's a donation box. Please give as you can. Ladies were there selling baked goods, too. They were delicious.

Go check this place out! 😁
