Mount Airy was the home of their plantation where they retired and down the street from their final resting place. The museum features a chronological display of their lives from young boys in Siam (now Thailand) to family patriarchs in Mount Airy. The museum is full of artifacts, personal writings, and academic studies of the twins. It replaces a much smaller exhibit that was open for years across the street.

This would be a five star review had it not been for an interaction with an apparent staff member. My mom is older and gets things mixed up at times. This was an exhibit for a local female singing legend and my mom simply states "I think she's dead". Some lady who was working behind a curtain on that same floor hollers out that's she's still living very curt and angry. My mom went on to incorrectly say she thought this singer had died and the apparent staffer angrily kept saying "she's fine" etc... I get she may have been just trying to give out the correct info. However, she wasn't even the same room and the tour supposed to be self-guided. It was more of a scolding than an ASSIST in my opinion. The staff at the museum should keep her in check.

After hearing about it from a friend, I did a tour with Purple Alpaca Farms. Located in Boonville…read morein the Triad area, it was about 2 hours away from the me but most of it was a straight shot on I-40. During the tour, you get to learn about alpacas (what they're like, alpacas in the states, etc.) and interact with them as well. You can pet some of the more cuddly ones (they'll tell you which spots the alpacas prefer) and feed them hay. The farm has quite a few other animals from the people-friendly dogs that greeted us to chickens and ducks that you can hold if you feel comfortable. Our experience was definitely worth the $12/person cost!

There are nice fire pits with grills at each site and we did bring our own firewood so we cooked on those. "Firewood" is on site but it consisted of moldy, unsplit pine logs. It rained Saturday in the early evening turning the area in front of and around the tents into a quagmire of mud, simple wood chips at least in front of the tents to keep down the mud would have been nice.

Mount Pilot's claim to fame was being mentioned on the Andy Griffith Show many times…read more Unfortunately this will always be the case. It should be the golf here. Pilot Knob Park was built in the sixties and has hosted a few stops on some of the mini tours. Originally a private club it has become semi private during the week and is worth the few extra dollars to play. I played here most weekends during college and would put it up against any course within a hundred miles. Pilot is a relatively short course even from the tips. Just a couple of tough holes but shotmaking skills are at a premium. Many of the fairways are bent so a straight drive isnt necessarily a good drive. Conditions are always perfect!!! It can be crowded on the weekends however and during the week you can get behind gangsomes that are too occupied in their side bets to let you play through. There are several ponds on the course that have been stocked for years and if you ask politely you are allowed to cast a line if the course isnt too packed.
