  • A functioning period kitchen
  • Nine marked trails
  • On-site picnic facilities
  • Ongoing projects in historic architecture and archaeology
  • A permanent exhibit “Plantations at the Crossroads” reflecting the blending of the Native Americans, African Americans, and European settlers in the region
  • A museum exhibit room featuring artifacts and interpretive exhibits
  • Accessible collections from 1700 through 1900
  • Classroom capacity for on-site instruction of up to 30 people
  • A comprehensive research library focused on North Carolina, regional, and local history
