This place is a hidden gem! Definitely do the guided tour! My kids 8 and 11, who normally hate historical tours, really enjoyed it and had fun! The history told by our tour guide and the areas visited was absolutely fascinating!

We had a Great guide! There is a lot to see and after the tour you can spend time on your own wondering the grounds if you'd like. We were lucky enough to see the groundhog while inside the tunnel! He's famous, but stealthy, so keep your eyes peeled!

A interesting place to visit. A knowledgeable guide takes you on a short tour and tells you the history of the area and answers any questions you might have.

Very much historic & well maintained heritage site. We had a great time, they have two tours to choose from or a combination of both - 1. Visitor center with musem 2. Clisby house, hospital, general store which has post office & everything you needed during those days and the Western Atlantic rail road tunnel built during 1700s. There is also the current rail road tunnel which is still active today built in 1928. The old tunnel is around 1500ft long & is well lit and maintained. Lady who took us through the tour was Amazing! She was so much into history & very keen to share a lot of information about the Clisby family who owned the land & some of the civil war history. Overall a good historic place to visit, you might spend close to 2 hours for both the tours.

Would I be allowed to fly a drone to document the area?

I'm not certain. The nearby Clisby Austin House, part of the tour site, requires a photography permit. That was the only disclaimer I read.

How much are tickets?

We purchased self-guided adult tickets for $8 each.

Is there a free entrance by any chance? That place is maintaining itself so why should we pay?

The fee is minimal and well worth the history that you get out of out from the informative guide.
