Reviews of Frontier Culture Museum
"Top quality living history museum with something for all ages. Great place to take a stroll, admire the buildings and learn something from the staff. Be sure to go to their special weekend events, there's so much more to see and learn during those."
"The weather was perfect high 40’s, we walked most of the grounds. The staff was excellent in knowledge of each display from different countries of yesteryears! I would recommend this place for numerous reason, but mainly it was a great memory!"
"Loved this museum. Perfect way to spend a cool Saturday morning. We did have personal guides in the form of the rescued cats that wander the grounds. The staff was very informative of their respective areas. Grounds are huge - lots of walking but if/when you get tired they do have shuttle golf carts to help out. Glad we stopped in."
"Awesome museum! You can explore the different houses and surrounding area of the different “countries” they set up along a long looped path. There’s also sheep, chickens, goats, pigs, and a cow spread out at the various sites; along with four very nice mouser cats."
"Fantastic! We loved the clothing display at the museum office and each area with real authentic buildings. We rented a golf cart for $25 and it made our visit even better. We lived listening to the interpreters and seeing the buildings and gardens and way of life. It is an excellent place for families and homeschoolers. We visited 3 timed from NC and will be back. Entrance fees are very reasonable. Love it!"
