Such a delightful visit here! The attendants were so warm, welcoming, and explained everything thoroughly. We started our visit by watching a brief video. It truly was an informative precursor to our self guided tour, around every corner was lots to be discovered.

We stopped here as a tourist site as we were passing through the area. I didn't think we would be here long, but the interpretive center is so well organized in setting the stage and telling the narrative we were here for a good hour and a half. It is a hidden gem and worth the stop.

History of the Civil War in the strangest places. To see the CSS Neuse iron clad ship in Kinston was a special treat for us. The Museum is laid out nicely and worth the visit.
