Great place to learn about Washington Duke and the tobacco industry. Some of the exhibits need some TLC, but still great information. Check out the Christmas at Duke Homestead event December.

I've brought groups here 5 times and each time the experience exceeds our expectations. Make sure you go through the museum. It is self-guided and explains all about he history of tobacco. Take the guide -lead tour of the homestead. The guides really know their stuff.
