More to See in Hope Mills:
The Museum of the Cape Fear is in Fayetteville only six miles from Hope Mills. Here you will learn the history of southern North Carolina. This history goes back as far as the prehistoric days and covers up to the present. You’ll find three buildings here – the museum itself, the 1897 Poe House, and Arsenal Park.
The Poe House Museum is the home of famous Edgar Allen Poe. This former Poe home is not in relation to the writer Poe but to the successful Fayetteville brickyard owner. Mr. Poe owned many buildings around town that are still standing today.
You may find it ironic that although Mr. Poe made his living from bricks, his own home was not made of bricks but of wood. You are sure to enjoy a tour of this North Carolina museum.
