We have taken our grandchildren to this beautiful home for years. Back to when we had the Freedom Train coming through and the 1776 -1976 Celebrations. One of my favorite places to spend the afternoon....just before lunch at Logans.

My Mom and I went to Mordecai Park to tour the house for Christmas. It was beautiful! We arrived before the main house was opened, but enjoyed our time viewing the grounds and smaller buildings. The staff was friendly and answered any all questions for us.

We love historic sites and places with presidential connections. We found both at Mordecai Historic Park. The park provides flexibility to fit individual taste and time constraints; visitors may tour the outside buildings, tour the inside of the Mordecai house, or tour everything. We opted for everything and were happy with the choice. Fees are reasonable. Our guide in the... More

These buildings are beautiful and really well preserved. The park takes you back to old Raleigh antebellum style! The only bad thing I can say is the tour guides are a little disorganized and although well versed in the history of the home, not as well knowledgable in the general history of the era!

The historic park itself is somewhat interesting, with its old time buildings and such, but the real winner here is the Raliegh Trolley Tour. I couldn't find a seperate way to review it, so I'll just use this site, because we bought the trolley tickets from inside this Mordecai building for $10. We had never been to NC before, and... More

I went with my children to see what it was all about. It's basically a bunch of buildings and a garden. That's it. It is cool to see a historical home. Preserved very well as we should keep some things around from our past. I support the idea and it is a quiet little stroll. Just don't expect much.

I went with my daughters' classes for a field trip. I didn't even know this historic site existed until then. Our tour guide did a great job telling the history and keeping the kids focused. There is a large area for kids to run around after touring the buildings. Not a huge park, but it is the perfect size for... More

This is just an old neighborhood. The city appears to be trying to make it look like a tourist attraction but there's nothing note worthy here or worth stopping for.
