first-hand feel for what life in the 1800s was about by touring the farmstead.
National Railroad Museum & Hall of Fame
The National Railroad Museum and Hall of Fame was opened in 1976. The depot was built in 1900 and was the home of the North Carolina Division of SAL. A prime example of Victorian architecture, it is one of the
most photographed stations in the eastern United States and is representative of the structures of that era.
Shaw House
The Historic Shaw House is located on its original foundation at the crossing of the famed Revolutionary Pee Dee and Morganton Roads at the southern entrance to Southern Pines. The Shaw House is typical of
the antebellum houses which followed the cabins of the early Sandhills settlers. It is less elaborate than the seacoast plantations and has the charm and sturdy simplicity which was characteristic of the Scottish
families who settled in this region.
