We stopped by here while vacationing in Charlotte. Worth the $7 for the admission. Great history lesson for all ages. A little to hard to find at first because it is so deep into the woods. shows what life was life was like back in the 1800's. I would recommend this as a family trip because you get a greater appreciation for what you have now. You also will be happy to see just how far this country has come when it comes to equality. The gift shop is nice as wel. We bought a couple of cook books with recipes from the time.
