This wonderful museum showcases Elizabeth Citys history with a variety of unique artifacts and seasonal exhibits. The museum includes a visitors center, gift shop, theater, and kids play area. There is also a guided voice tour and wonderful staff to accommodate anyone with disabilities.

Excellent museum! Very diverse collection of their items/pieces of history and all displayed quite nicely. If your a history buff, would highly recommend. Well done Elizabeth City!

Very nice place, interesting facts of the area, customer service was excellent. Very informative web interface to explain the exhibits in more detail.

This is a wonderfully kept and spacious museum with rotating exhibits that highlight the history of the area. We spent a couple hours wandering around and really enjoyed ourselves. The staff was friendly and it wasnt very crowded on the weekday that we went. The surrounding area is also nice, with a big park across the street with a view of the waterfront. Its definitely a place you should check out if youre in the area!

A nice walk through history. A 57 Chevy in the lobby currently. Local history with a good sized collection of artifacts and information . The displays change periodically and they have weekend events.

What a wonderful museum, the nicest stuffCant wait to come back to see new exhibits

This museum was great. Its free but they always encourage and appreciate donations. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. The exhibits were well put together and interesting. My 3yr old niece was there with me and she loved looking around too . I highly recommend stopping by and also donating!

We have been here several times since they moved to this location several years ago. We especially love visiting the gift shop during the holiday season to get gifts for our family members. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They have events here throughout the year too.

This was an amazing place to visit! I took my kids over Spring Break, and they really enjoyed it. My teenager actually put her phone in her pocket and didnt pick it up for over two hours! We learned so much about the Albermarle area, Blackbeard, stopped in the gift shop, and so much more. Definitely stop in for a wonderful time, and if possible, please leave a donation for the museum.

Always a fun time. They change two of the rooms ever so often so youll have new stuff to look at. There is also a child areah for them to play. Right now its theme is pirates.

Great place full of rich local history

Great place to visit and learn some history

Was a pretty fun place for our family to visit. They have a kids part of the museum on the first level and on the second level they have all of the adult pieces I have been twice and Im finding something new with each visit I truly enjoy this place and now my 4 year old is hooked on it too!!

Gorgeous museum. Friendly, helpful staff. Abundant information. Voice tour available via QR code plays conveniently on your own cell phone. Inspired by Hannah Crafts! There’s no way I would want to tie my hair to the permanent wave machine lol

Interesting facts.Interactive.

Very interesting displays, events and helpful staff. The gift shop is great!

This is a wonderful museum showing the growth of the area and everything around it. A lovely building with very helpful staff. It is good for all ages as there is a room for children opposite the gift shop with dress up clothes a ship for photo ops and other things too.

Wonderful exhibits. Great for all ages. Very kind informative staff.

Very fun and informative for everyone of all ages.

Beutiful building and great staff. Had an excellent time with my children. Great for family fun in the E City area.

Very nice staff and clean environment. Took my boys, 6.5 yrs old and 3.5 yrs old, walking through and a staff member came and answered all the questions they had. Love that they change some of the exhibits too!! Helps provide good history for the area and has a couple memorabilia from when my mother-in-law and husband were children. Makes it more personal and community based.

Local treasure. Fun place to learn about history in our area. Always has interesting new exhibits. Great staff.

Fantastic museum! If youre in the area check it out!

Its really cool local history. And its FREE!

Wonderful facility, friendly staff, great educational resource for schools within range. Valuable introduction to the region and its history. As so often true, could do more to connect the destruction of indigenous people, impact of slavery and racism with the narrative.

Great place to go with family or by yourself. Has a lot of good displays and individual items from local area. There are even regional historical items. It is free to everyone. But if you like what you see and the outstanding job they are doing there is a box to make a donation.

Great place to visit lot of history

Great place to spend time. They have a great childrens play area also.

Fun for the whole family. Beautifully put together local and national history exhibits. Friendly staff. Lots of docents on hand to answer questions. They always seem to have activities for families and kids to do in addition to the regular exhibits. Free to the public, donations recommended.

Great history museum. The WWI exhibit was very educational, interactive, and wonderfully done.

Great musum of North Carolina coastal history very professional presentation.

It was a nice trip. I liked the lighting and how they displayed the pieces. Some of the displays seemed like filler. It was still worth the time to see the local area relics.

An excellent museum of regional history. Bravo!

This was a great place to spend a rainy day while visiting the area. We especially enjoyed their display of WW2 artifacts.

Interesting place to learn local history. Also has place for younger kids to play.

I took the wife and kids there 11 & 13. We had a greAt time! They enjoyed the wedding dress up area

Was good and friendly

Interesting small museum. Good place to take children. They have a nice play area and some interactive exhibits.

This whole area is actually very interesting and even though Elizabeth City and Edenton are small towns, they have been well documented over the years including what has happened in the other surrounding counties nestled here along the Albemarle.Unfortunately our history stands in the shadow of places like the Outer Banks, and the Colonial Triangle (Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown) so you would be amazed at how much history is right under your feet.The museum is a great place to visit for both adults and children and Ive never seen it all that busy which to me is a good thing. Id say the building is split in half with one part being recent and the other half is the truly historical stuff. They have a good collection of recent history (just cool objects from the early 1900s that give you an idea of what life was like in a small southern farm town) and the second part I spoke of has a ton of information ranging from the civil war all the way to colonial times where this area was used for secret hideaways for pirates and merchants. Also they cover some aspects of the natives that lived here.

A beautiful museum showcasing local history of life in the Albemarle. Exhibits are well displayed. Locals should visit and tourists are sure to enjoy!

Nice info. Very clean.

Small town museum very well put together. Very impressive historical displays and information.

One of the best museums Ive been to and its free. Definitely worth donating
