    While awaiting a carriage ride in Fayetteville, we had the opportunity to walk around this museum. What a great experience. I saw many photos and historical artifacts that I did not know existed or didn’t know the history.Probably one of the best things to visit in DT Fayetteville- especially if you have specific questions- ask for Bruce Dawes!! He is the man.
  • By Vee L
    Lots to see for the whole family. One museum then go next door to the other one. It's usually quiet, lots to read and some things you can touch. Learn all.about Fayetteville in its early days.
