Tour Schedule and Pricing

Back Parlor

The museum site is currently closed for daily tours to conduct general maintenance and repairs around the site. Plan to visit us during the Herb & Garden Fair on April 6th & 7th!

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

In light of the increasing development surrounding Poplar Grove, we are utilizing this time to solidify ourselves as an integral and vital part of the community.

Poplar Grove is currently closed. 

We are taking this opportunity to design a blueprint that expands upon our mission and further develops the daily tour program, school field trips, heritage arts spaces, permanent exhibits, gift shop, farmers’ market and stables.

In 2024, we will be relocating the main entrance, admissions, and gift shop; restructuring the tour program, school program and farmers’ market; adding information boars, new pathways, and parking.

We hope to create a green and open space in which visitors can interact with history, culture, and the arts, and provide a greater opportunity for the public to come together as a community.

We invite you to be part of the process! We will be updating the public on these exciting new developments via our social media platforms throughout the spring.

Consider visiting Moores Creek Battlefield – Pender County’s Revolutionary War site, if you have not yet had a chance to do so. North Carolina is First In Freedom for a reason. We look forward to celebrating this Nation’s 250th Anniversary in 2026!

Thank you for supporting conservation, education, and preservation.
