East Carolina Village and Farm Museum — Attraction in Greenville

Today I went and stopped by to scout for my personal family fall photos. We had been on site for no more than 3 minutes before we were approached. A woman on site was extremely rude and talked to me like I was a child when chastising me regarding the site being open by appointment only. Which, if you have not been to their website you would not know. I had no clue this was the policy. Which I am fine with. Here is where I take issue- I was with my daughter and this woman Joanne, who is a board member and should know better, berated me after she asked me to repeat their web address back to her. Who demands a visitor\grown woman repeat a web address back? Clearly I (as a 35 year old, college educated person) can surely use google and Facebook to find the museum site, info/policies, and board member information.

Clearly Joanne does not care if I bring my children back to visit the museum and site to learn more about Greenville’s history. Very displeased with the disrespect shown to us and would never refer anyone to visit this museum site or even...

There's even a Watermill which in the 1800s would have been where all taxes were collected because taxes were paid in grain instead of currency. You would take your Harvest to the mill to be processed and they would keep the government's portion. This place is awesome so come...

This museum is inaccessible to the community. There should be regular hours to visit like any normal "museum" anywhere else in the country. It is a complete mystery and will hopefully end up in the right hands eventually. Originally from another state, I deeply enjoy visiting museums as a way to learn about our communities, our history, etc. This place has no value to the...
