This might not be the most beautifully furnished home but it is very authentic for a home that was lived in until, I think, 1960s. The tour gives good insights into Raleigh's history. It is worth going to.

Took our out of town sister and brother-in-law on a March Sunday afternoon. Being the only ones there, we got a private tour. It was a fascinating peek into Raleigh's early history surrounding the Mordecai family and the birthplace and story of Andrew Jackson. Highly recommended.

A beautiful historic park that includes an Antebellum mansion that was home to the Lane family, a very influential Raleigh family, and is filled with 18th and 19th century furnishings. The surrounding plantation offers exhibits that detail plantation life as it was in its heyday plus features a small house that was the birthplace of President Andrew Johnson.
