A Terrific Visit to Bennett Place Historic Site 6/30/2007

One of the best kept secrets in Durham, North Carolina. We had a wonderful experience visiting Bennett Place. The staff is very knowledgeable about the surrender and the Bennett Family. There is a great museum with some unique artifacts of the Civil War and the film was up to date with modern technology as far as museums go. They also have a pretty nice gift shop with a good book selection on the surrender and the Civil War in North Carolina. Interesting to now know the Civil War did not end at Appomattox, and that this was the largest of the surrenders. I can't wait to come back to see the annual Surrender Commemoration living history event. Pros: Nice Gift Shop, Good Movie and Museum, Knowledgeable and Friendly Tour Guides Cons: The actual Bennett Home no longer stands, but it is a nice reconstruction more

simple history 11/19/2006

How do you know your friend was born in durham? Ask if they've been to the Bennet Place. A favorite elementary school outing, few durhamites have missed it. That doesn't mean you should avoid the simple landmark yourself. This site, so important to the civil war, could be easily over looked, tucked away in residential durham. However it is very well kept up and worth any history buff's time. Pros: parking, upkeep, service Cons: not much to see more
