Great place to spend a couple hours. Top floor is fun for kids. Start at the top and work your way down. Make sure you request a cemetery tour!

I was pleasantly surprised that there was no admission fee. The facility was very clean and organized. The displays were varied and met my interest. The interactive room was fun! I like the notifications of different events that were coming up. I went to a book signing a few nights later.

The hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday 2 pm to 5 pm. Closed on Mondays, for anybody who wants to know. The Admission is free, they have guided tours of the cemetery and that is the only way you can see the cemetery, they do accept donations and they have really changed the displays up. Now they have them pretty much by years and decades, We had a really good time visiting and would definitely recommend people stop and and see Greensboro's history.

I really enjoyed this museum. It very thoroughly and honestly reviews the history of the state and city. Some of the exhibits are hard to read and review, given the history of our country, but, in my opinion, it's important to know history's reality so we don't repeat it and can see the progress made. Much appreciation to the people that make places like this possible and preserve the artifacts and buildings. Very educational.

Great great museum! So glad we stopped in. Very well laid out and very informative. We found parking across the street. Staff was helpful. My funny moment was finding out the Vicks VaporRub was started in Greensboro. My parents swore by the benefits of this stuff 😂
