Greensboro Historical Museum

Day Trippers
Grab a bite of history downtown.

Visit the downtown campus at 130 Summit Avenue, right at the intersection of Summit Avenue and Lindsay Street. Get lost in historical thoughts as you enjoy the garden-like First Presbyterian Cemetery and the historic buildings of Mary Lynn Richardson Park.

When you’re satisfied, explore the Greensboro Public Library, the Greensboro Children’s Museum and the art galleries of the Greensboro Cultural Center. Stroll the surrounding blocks to find local shops, restaurants and the International Civil Rights Center & Museum. Round out your center city visit with a Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball game at NewBridge Bank Park.

Hours:

Sunday 2 pm - 5 pm
Closed Mondays and City of Greensboro holidays

Admission is FREE and free parking is available behind and across the street from the museum.
