"Quite an amazing history about the Duke Family how they started their Tobacco Business, This National Historical plantation is an easy 1 hour Tour, Located in Durham m, NC. the museum provides a historical background a must see when you are visiting Durham."
"My daughter and I participated in a tobacco basket weaving workshop and then toured the historic property. Although not far from downtown Durham, the farm buildings feel like a world away in both time and place. There's a beautiful picnic area we plan to use next time we visit."
"This is a great place to learn about the very early history of the Duke business, growth, and contribution to eduction. Not just the plantation, but the men and women who worked the plantation has made this area wonderful unique. Completely free, with an indoor museum, public restrooms, outdoor exploration, picnic area, and friendly staff. We came to pass time, but stayed to enjoy the site."
