This is will worth a visit. The history is very interesting for young or old alike!! My be a little small but there is a lot of information!

My opinion is it should cost around $4. $7 is a little high for what you get. Seems like they are trying to create history. Caught it at a good time with a temporary civil war exhibit, otherwise would have been very disappointed.

This was our first visit to Wilmington and we stopped at the museum one afternoon. The outside collection of boats was quite interesting and I learned about the Simmons Sea-Skiff, a popular local design.

This is a good museum with various displays related to the Cape Fear area and its history. The variety of displays and artifacts is nice - it's about a 60-90 minute visit.

Hubby & I like to stop in every so often. They change the displays often enough to keep it interesting & I always like learning more about our area & history in general.

Very nicely laid out museum with friendly staff and informative displays. I agree it is mainly history but i saw several school groups having science lessons from museum staff which looked like a lot of fun. Don't miss the video comparison of black and white schools . Quite shocking and so recent.

Never too crowded , grandchildren love to just roam . They have nice visting exhibits from time to time, loved the Toy one.

So much to do in the Wilmington NC area. This is a must see museum to learn more about the area and the culture. Kids and Adults will enjoy this museum.
