The Greensboro History Museum is a fascinating place to visit. The displays are well done, and help to give the visitor a glimpse into the past of Greensboro and Guilford County. There are many rare items on display. Overall, the museum does an excellent job of giving visitors a well-balanced view of the many diverse historical forces that went into shaping the Greensboro in which we live today.

Very well kept museum with really cool exhibits. Free to the public!

We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed this museum, we checked out the whole place and it took us about 2 1/2 hours and there were a few exhibits closed till December 7th 2019 so we will be back to check those out. We also checked out the little park in the back of the building where we parked. During the warmer months it looks like they would do reenactment type things which would be pretty cool to see as well.

MUST SEE.• Much bigger than it seems like..• A lot of documents and objects (not very ancient, but valuable)..• Descriptions are very accurate and detailed..• Staff are kind..• Most importantly its free!

Great place to learn more about Greensboro. Only did the main floor this time but if you read everything its still gonna take a few hours. Admission is free, but there is a box for donations

The parking lot is tiny! We went for a school field trip before they opened to the public and our 7 cars still couldnt fit and some had to park elsewhere. Once inside, it was great. All the guides were informed and there was more to see than we had time for. As a local, there was a lot to learn and they made it fun for the kids! Its free to enter and we will definitely be taking a return trip as a family!

Great exhibits. Worth the drive up from Charlotte, free for families! I could spend all day here, so much to read.

Very well organised and laid out for learning. Friendly staff too.

Wonderful, great place for the family, friendly staff, great exhibits, huge place with a lot of interesting things and very educative, the admission is free and although has no parking place. There is a public parking very close and reasonable. I was amazed with the historic cars and the third floor has an exhibition of different building of the era. Definitely I want to come back.

This place is so awesome..Their is alot of history their I love it

Its a very nice place, Me and my family had a really great time

Great museum. Lots of great history in Greensboro. Beautiful building.

We enjoy going here at least 1 time every month or so. There is much to look through learn and help bring to light the things this community has been through through the years. The traveling museum is always great to and brings in lots of new information.

Free museum on the history of the town of Greensboro, NC. There is a small free parking lot behind the building with only one handicapped spot. The spaces inside this church converted to a museum are archecturally beautiful, keeping much of the charm of the original building. Educationally, we were surprised at how much we learned about the history of Greensboro. Good for kids too with plenty of hands on exhibits.The paid Childrens Museum is across the street. Hitting both venues made for a nice afternoon with the grandkids.

Love the history here

This was an amazing attraction to visit over the weekend when I was spending time with my grandma! Not only are there so many interesting things to see and facts to learn, a decent part of this museum is interactive. The museum itself is quite large and my grandma and I often found ourselves asking how they do not charge admission. The museum runs on donations and we forgot to donate before or after our visit but no worries because they make it super easy for you to donate online. I would 100% recommend this museum to anyone living in Greensboro or visiting Greensboro.

This is a lovely free museum to visit. I loved walking through the corridors and getting lost in the different exhibits. After visiting, consider donating online to help support their efforts.

I am disappointed in this museum. Yes, they do a good job on their displays, but they dont care about the history of the museum itself which has a lot to do with the history of Greensboro and its beginnings. I did extensive research into the history of the building and property. I built a page on my history website with all of the information, which reached as far bag as the mid 1700s in detail, and told about the 3 previous buildings that the congregation had built on the property. I also included some extremely rare photos of the property. I told the employees what I had done, and was told to come back another time. I emailed them and got no reply.

Jam packed exhibit, free parking and admission! Replicas of 1800s shops were very cool. When we went, there was a Smithsonian exhibit visiting too. Theres also a real covered wagon.

To be honest, I didnt expect much from this place. It doesnt look as big as it is! I was the only one there for HOURS and got to explore without the hassle of other people getting in the way. First time thats ever happened and it was AMAZING because I didnt feel the need to move on quickly from each display so that others could get in.

The exhibits here are very informative and cover the whole history of Greensboro. I got the chance to take a tour with one of the docents today, and the museum was even better. The docent was a wealth of knowledge, and their information expanded on what the exhibits said, and added another whole level to my understanding of Greensboro. I love that I learn something new every time I go here.

Some areas are a bit lacking on information but understandable when taking into account the sheer scope of the musuem. A few tight corridors so maybe not the best on a busy day. A good amount of interactable exhibits so certainly good for most ages.

Its a perfect representation of how far as a city, the city of Greensboro has come, as a small community town, to a big big city. Its nice to know that.

Really wonderful jewel in the heart of Greensboro!

I could stay here for 2 days and still not read/experience all of the information - truly chock-a-block with history. They do a very good job at transporting you through time to get the true feel of the 1800s. Fascinating history.

Hadnt been for a while but had a great time with my grandson and his parents. So much to explore. Fire truck and police car great hit.

Great museum! Seriously impressed with the depth of their displays.

Very impressed great displays and surroundings were beautiful and geart for the kids!

This is a great museum! I enjoyed the exhibits very much and it is free!

Fantastic displays very knowledgeable staff. So much fun definitely worth a trip!

This was my favorite museum as a kid. I still visit every time I am in Greensboro and now I bring my children, they love it also. Wonderful updates both inside and to the cemetery. The typewriter exhibit in April 2019 was a huge hit with our 2, 10 & 18 year old!

Free fun for the family. Great museum

This is such a wonderful part of Greensboro. The exhibits are great and the little town area is wonderful for the kids to look around and discover the towns history.

Loved the voices of Greensboro exhibit. The staff was great and super helpful with things around town to do.

We enjoyed our visit. The collections are way more extensive than we expected. Next time well plan for a longer stay.

From my nine year old....Third floor is the hands on stuff. There is an old fashioned movie theatre with movies to watch. Great experience.We have long visited this place. We might give the third floor five stars however we would like to see more intentional guided play for visitors especially large groups.The city exhibit with our school group got stale. Too much of the same scavenger hunt with paper and pen. one of the kids with me said, “i do not want to do this anymore, why can’t i look for things that i like?” Again we suggest intentional play opportunities. Change the way the visitors are expected to use their brains often. Mix it up. amazing collection of artifacts in need of new educational activities for school groups.

Very informative. A lot of stuff ! Actually fun ! And FREE

Great place graphics are awesome and everything is laid out well

Love this place great history and displays

Much larger than I anticipated! There was so much stuff to see, the staff was super nice, and best of all, its free!

Great local museum. Enjoyed my time there immensly. Will visit again.

Its a bit dated on the inside in regards to the displays but otherwise its a nice place to visit. If you want to gain some insight into the history of the South it is a valuable resource.

Very extensive array of NC artifacts, historical displays & exhibits. A well-managed museum.

Nice museum and free. Good history of the city

There were many nice exhibits and in an hour and a half we still couldnt take in all of the information. My kids really enjoyed the typewriter exhibit and I loved the area dedicated to colleges in Greensboro. Its definitely worth the trip. Ill be heading back soon.

This is a pretty amazing museum! It shows the history of Greensboro going from its founders, through the reveloutionary and civil war, through the boom of the textile trade and also the civil Rights movement.The museum is free and has some very informative exhibits. There are also some great restaurants nearby so if you are looking for a fun afternoon experience I definitely would recommend this place!

Real good place to visit. Wonderful. Worth the price of entry

Love the people here and a wonderful historical place

Had a wonderful visit and the staff were very friendly. My children really were excited to of when and hated to leave

Nice museum. The staff was extra friendly and helpful. Building was well kept and some interesting sites.

A definite recommendation. Took my daughter and she was enlightened and entertained. The staff acted as living monuments to historical figures providing information and acting for us as we toured.

Great learning experience, Im from California and truly enjoyed the history.

I wasnt expecting the wealth of information I gained from stepping back in time into this museum. The first room I was skeptical - a silver tea set, a couple of rooms with furniture, some pictures on the wall. But going deeper into the museum I was transported from present day to the time when Indians roamed the land. There were exhibits about the creation and transformation of Greensboro, from inception to wars and civil rights and industry and commerce and revitalization. One of the best parts is the old cemetery behind the gift shop. Be prepared to spend two to three hours here. Best part, its free!

Amazing, I learned so much about this history-filled town.

Come discover Greensboros rich historical events in pictures and in storytelling. This building has a rich and beautiful brick architecture that fits seamlessly with new parks and walkable gardens in downtown Greensboro. Rooms can be reserved for a variety of events and activities.

Mr. Rodney Dawson, Education Curator, for the Greensboro History Museum spoke at our homeschool History Roundtable yesterday. He presented a WWI documentary entitled, Through the Eyes of Nine. Mr. Dawson was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, and his presentation was very organized and informative. His delivery was also quite personable and engaging. He finished his presentation by dividing the students into teams, and proceeded with a fun Jeopardy style game to reinforce what had been taught.The feedback from the parents and children that attended was extremely complimentary. Im personally grateful that the museum offers such quality programs for our community.

The Greensboro History Museum is a great place to go to learn about the history of Greensboro. There are numerous and varied exhibits all through the museum and there is a cemetery that you can walk through. When you go plan to spend at least a couple of hours there so that you can see all that the museum has to offer. My family and I have been to the museum three times so far!

Great little museum reflecting local Greensboro and North Carolina history.

Awesome! Will definitely be back.

This is an amazing museum located in downtown Greensboro. There are three levels to explore and learn the history of Greensboro, NC. I highly suggest stopping by and taking a look. To see the entire museum and exhibits will take about an hour.

Nice museum that a lot of people dont know about. Great place to spend an afternoon.

Very informative. Is really big on the inside. Has interactive aspects for kids.

A fantastic are give of the long history of the area. Extremely well-presented, and remarkable artifacts.

Great Field trip for Summer Camp. Staff was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable, patient, understanding and energetic.

So much history in Greensboro from the Woolworth sit-in to being the denim capital. Great place to learn and its free!

Amazing place to visit, full of information and very well made. Will be back.

Very educational and teaches a lot about the history of Greensboro

Wonderful! This place is a MUST SEE for history buffs. I loved it. When I visited the AIDS Quilts were on display. Very moving! Staff was friendly and helpful. Very informative!

Always nice to visit. Free entry and self tour. The typewriting exhibit was my favorite

This museum is exceptional. There are so many interesting and historical exhibits. The museum is a really good size and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The museum also has a wonderful gift store. I would definitely recommend this museum to anyone in the area.

Very interesting and engaging. The exhibits on the civil war and Dolly Madison are great.

Really nice setting for meetings. Didnt get a chance to view the museum, but the gift shop is just inside the front doors with some pretty nice stuff.

More information than we could really take in in just a couple of hours. Learned a lot! Love watching young people trying to figure out typewriters.

This is an awesome museum for it to be free. Its interactive and the exhibits change regularly. The staff is always friendly and willing to help explain something. Great thing to do with the family.

Excellent museum! Very friendly staff, some interactive exhibits and some outside exhibits. Highly recommended especially if you are new to Greensboro or the surrounding areas or even North Carolina. Also highly recommended if you live here and have never gone before. Bring your whole family! You will leave with a lot of knowledge about the place you live or have visited!

There is so much information here that I did not know about Greensboro. It is very educational and they have a lot of interactive exhibits for the whole family. It is free admission and takes about 3 hours to go through and enjoy the entire thing. The workers here are super nice and always greet you with a smile.

Friends visited from Maine, left Minus degree weather and came to beautiful 64 degree Greensboro. Thank you Nancy for welcoming our friends to the History museum and making it memorable.

An amazing place, full of history. Recommended!!

Great place for the family at a great price.

Loved this museum!! its so interactive and so much fun, with so many things to do around inside. great for people of all ages! highly recommend!!

Had a fabulous time at #TriadHistoryDay learning about all the organizations in the area preserving NC culture and history.

Love it. Been driving by it for years never going in, go in on a rainy Sat with my two sons and had a great time.

A great place to go to learn some history of our city! Free Admission, a small gift shop is available as well! They are adding some new exhibits so I will definitely go back!

Great family place and its free. Lots of historical facts about Greensboro.

This is by far the BEST City museum I have ever visited. I highly recommend spending at least a half day here - I had no idea that Greensboro had such a rich history.

Great place....great history and family friendly.

Came here with a nine year old, he stayed interested throughout most of the exhibits. He loved the hands on experience provided. A good day spent!

Outstanding museum, tours of Archives and Collections as well as docent led tour of Museum.

Great place for your family to feel the past of greensboro relaxing as well love the cars they need to dust the big ford it was however dust all over the rims and fendor took notice when i started coughing as i have very very bad sinus but overall its a great place.

We enjoyed our visit here. Lots of great exhibits

I love this place like walking back in time so relaxing.

Love this place. So much to see and learn. Does require you to do some reading

5 by O Henry is a yearly event featuring 5 short stories brought to life in play form and surrounded by additional cabaret entertainment set in the early 1900s. Cheeky, dramatic, and funny for all ages

Amazing museum, free admission. Great exhibits that change frequently.

I personally liked the expirience

A great learning experience for the whole family

Great attraction, happy Greensboro has such neat exhibits in such a beautiful building.

Light on history big on diversity displays. Many of exhibits we enjoyed are gone.

Great place to spend time learning about Greensboro history. Many interesting displays. Knowageable staff, also friendly

Great piece of history. Upon walking up to it we realized it is a church but didnt know why it was chosen until we left. It was used as a hospital. So it holds more history than just being a church.
