Blandwood Museum — Attraction in Greensboro

Blandwood Mansion is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Greensboro, and it preserves a strong sense of history, both in the grounds and in the mansion itself. Our tour guide, Anderson, was very knowledgeable and informed. He made our visit a memorable one, both for the knowledge he shared about the Morehead family, and the times in which they lived. A visit to Blandwood Mansion helps one to understand not only the lives of those who lived here, but also the times in which they lived and the historical forces at work in shaping the United States, especially in the nineteenth century.

Was super memorable & would love to visit again when i am...

My friend and I came for a tour around 3:00. She is visiting from out of town. We were told to sit on the sofa and it would be 30-45 minutes for the next tour. We waited 2 hours and ended up leaving and never got to tour because the guide would not cut the previous tour short due to ‘questions’. Luckily we had not paid yet but we were visiting from out of town and this entire experience was extremely frustrating. The tour guide seemed remorseful but I feel it was very inconsiderate of our time. The previous group should have been told to hold their questions seeing as there were people waiting and the last tour was scheduled to stop at 4:00 pm, and the museum closed at 5 pm since it was a Sunday. I’m sad I wasted the little time I had...
