An interesting museum about tobacco, it’s cultivation and industrialization after the Civil War. Some mention was made at end about how it has harmed countless lives and the appropriation of Indians and their symbols. At the end of the day, the harm outweighs the few benefits, but the museum does help point out all those impacted in supply chain by major changes in view towards tobacco.

Very interesting to learn about the history of tobacco cultivation and marketing. Practically no mention made of the health risks of tobacco, not surprising I guess but still seems there should be some references to how this industry has been responsible for thousands if not millions of deaths.

Awesome historic site with a window into the fascinating history of Durham, the Duke family, and the tobacco industry as a whole. Well-kept grounds and equally informative staff and museum. Well worth the visit
