Really gorgeous grounds hidden away in southern pines. Lots of walking trails and pet friendly, this is a great place to spend a day.

Magnificent almost palatial grounds with a garden and plenty of shade for concert venues.

Beautiful venue, went for an open air dance performance and loved how the performance utilizes the gardens there. Would recommend this venue for any open air concerts, weddings, dancing, small craft fairs or just to casually stroll the seasonal gardens and paths.

Marianna was so wonderful and accommodating for me and my photographer to come by this past week and allow us to take bridal portraits inside even amidst COVID. It meant so much to me and she was so kind and courteous in the process of planning to come by. It’s also a gorgeous house and has gorgeous landscaping outside. I highly recommend a visit/donation to this gorgeous property!

Historical architectural gem, beautiful gardens, incredible history and active community center for the arts. Must see.

Beautiful grounds and nature trail. We want to go back when the house is open for tours.

Very pretty will be more beautiful when everything blooms. Good parking area, and there are benches along the trails.

A beautiful place to host just about any special event.

Wonderful historical site. Great place for an event.

Beautiful place to visit for walks and peace even for weddings and place of celebratory events

Very beautiful scenery, great for a walk in the evening

Beautiful property for walking around at night! Ignore the ghosts in the windows.

I would like to keep it top secret! It is a oasis of calm, wildlife, and garden and natural beauty.

Recently my family had my sisters Memorial service there and you couldnt have been in a more beautiful place. It is a wonderful serene environment that is warm and inviting.

Absolutely beautiful. We walk the dogs there and they enjoy the watching the wildlife too. We saw a beautiful young dear today 🌈❤️. It was especially wonderful after the heavy rain this afternoon

Beautiful place for a stroll.

I recently visited Southern Pines and decided to explore this Center. I didnt really realize it was the home of the Boyd family as I had driven over for the NC Literary Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is actually in what was an office, and all of it is well worth a few hours of time. The home is well preserved with helpful notes for the rooms as well as the Hall of Fame. Additionally, there are beautiful gardens out back that connect into walking trails. I not only enjoyed my visit, but was delighted to meet Marianna-the Office Manager, who is quite knowledgeable about the Center, the Boyd family, the Hall of Fame and the town itself. For those that live in the area, there appear to be many events at the Center, but again, its well worth a few hours if in the area. Really enjoyed my visit.

This is a beautiful place tucked away in the woods. People, dog, and horse friendly.

Got married there

Beautiful gardens and historic building. Great for walks and photos

Beautiful trails, and then great park for the kids across the street. Use AllTrails for trail details - be sure to check out oldest documented Long Leaf Pine in the world!

Beautiful venue, very accommodating!

Such an historic venue! Beautiful grounds and surrounding areas. Saw several people hiking and walking their dogs.

It was closed so I couldnt go inside. However I wandered around outside and looked at the flowers and the little pond etc. There are hiking trails here but I did not walk on them.

This place holds a very special place in my heart so the review may be biased for that reason. In my youth the gardens were a place I took my dates to hold hands and be romantic. I rode horses in the Boys Track that boarders it and now I walk there with the family and my dog all year round. The whole place is a true jewel which I hope Southern Pines and the N.C. Park Service project and nourish for generations to come.

Wonderful historic building in Downtown Southern Pines. Fantastic for events or anything else you might happen to attend here. A jewel of the Pines.

A nice clean place to walk around enjoying nature... never crowded each time Ive been, which is nice.

Beautiful green space for hiking or walking your dogs..

I am at this Center two or three times each year, when the North Carolina Poetry Society meets. Its a really handsome, graciously laid out, very well-maintained home and gardens. I cant imagine a better place to meet.

Great facility, beautiful grounds, excellent staff. Fair price for a party we recently held there with White Rabbit Catering Service and a DJ for 70 friends. An excellent event and experience

This place is wonderful, it is like taking a step back in time. Stunning!!!

Have been enjoying multiple lectures, from talented authors, to a three-part series on banned books a three-part series on world class artists. Weymouth is a great cultural resource...and gem...in The Sandhills area.

Im not sure whats happening, but this place is falling apart. The beautiful horses are gone and the grounds look terrible. Maybe its because the property is for sale? I feel sorry for anyone who has an event here.

Outdoor yoga in the gardens, perfect place for it.

McKenzie Mills. ...awesome!

I have attended several events here as well as accessed the surrounding land for personal recreation - its a great little spot for a variety of things from Pours in the Pines and photo shoots to hiking and walking your dog. Certainly worth exploring for anyone lucky enough to be local to So Pines.

Nice grounds for hiking and walking

Beautiful buildings and grounds. Attended a wedding.

Beautiful venue to host a wedding. I loved the atmosphere!

Amazing Property for any Formal Event.....

Beautiful grounds, horribly snobbish and insincere people who run the place. Have their own agenda and care little to preserve the true meaning of the Boyd estate.

We have done the annual plant sale for the last 4 years and everything weve bought there seems to flourish.

Had my daughters wedding there.Great place for an event.

Great easy trails. Kind and helpful rangers.

Beautiful place for wedding, parties....go back in time.

Nice place with pleasant staff

Neat place. Ill look for more events here.
