If taking the train from Raleigh to Wilson to visit this, how far is the walk from the teain station, or would driving be better?

Beth Pickens | Sep 27, 2020
Lara Mi | Mar 31, 2022

I would rather drive, parking is close and free. But if you must take the train make sure it’s just in daylight hours for personal safety and it’s probably a 25 minute walk each way and there are sidewalks.
