  We stopped here in our way home from the Outer Banks last year but the site was closed for Easter holidays. This year we were lucky to stop when it was open. I strongly recommend taking the guided tour (it runs about 90 minutes) to get the most out of your visit.

  Everytime I place by Creswell I always stop by this place. They have an amazing set up with some very beautiful views. They also have an amazing back story and is definitely worth a tour. They even have trails that lead over to Lake Phelps with spectacular views of the lake. It also has benches to take a rest and enjoy the view. Swimming is prohibited.
