North Carolina Baseball Museum

Reviewed By Pittmitchell - New Hartford, United States

We started our Ultimate Baseball Trip 2019 at the museum. What a start is was! Eddie Boykin was a most accommodating host! He went above and beyond. We hope he was able to finish mowing the lawn before dark. We thoroughly enjoyed his knowledge of the game, the North Carolina players and teams. We held our own with his trivia questions. So happy we made it the first stop of our trip. We wish the Tobs had been in town because we would have enjoyed a game at Fleming Stadium. Will recommend to all family and friends. Worth much more than the price of admission!

Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park

Reviewed By donlbrowne - Wilson, United States

Take a ride to downtown Wilson and you will find old tobacco warehouses and the Whirligig park, along with many other neat things. It is hard to explain a large windmill park other than in words like "cool and I never thought I would see something like this" Stop and take a look.
