Blandwood is a wonderful house/museum that deserves some of your time and a small admittance fee. The docent was very friendly and interesting.

We visited as part of the Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day. They were short-staffed so it was self-guided rather than the normal docent-led tour. The woman downstairs who was taking tickets was very knowledgable so I think she was normally a docent. They also had someone upstairs to answer questions and he was not nearly as engaged (and engaging) as his colleague downstairs. Due to the staff shortage the Law office and kitchen were not available to tour which I believe would otherwise have been open.
The Thomay Day furniture exhibit was still ongoing but will close the end of September. It was very interesting.
I would recommend if you are visiting Greensboro or live nearby. It is probably not enough to anchor a trip from longer distance.

In town for the first time to attend a women’s lacrosse game at Greensboro College, we wanted to see some things nearby rather than risk a late arrival. My niece encouraged us to check out Blandwood Museum, based on comments she’d heard, though she’d never been there herself. It was a great suggestion. When we arrived, late morning, we were the only ones there. The docent, a history major, essentially gave us a private tour. She explained that currently the museum was in the process of changing some of the exhibits so a few areas we could go to were temporarily closed. She seemed to have lots of information about Thomas Day an African American furniture maker, several of whose pieces were now on display. She was excellent about asking if we noticed differences/similarities in various furnishings and seemed pleased that we had at least some of the correct answers.
While we didn’t take photos, I wish now I had taken at least a few. I think I was so absorbed in her tour, it seemed like a private home tour with a good friend, that it would have seemed overly intrusive. Our guide shared a lot of details, seemly a great judge of when to keep talking and when to stop. I regret not knowing her name as 75 minutes went by exceedingly quickly. If we return to Greensboro again, it would interesting to see it again.

I was fortunate enough to have a personal tour throughout the property. I enjoyed learning about the history of the home and its occupants. It sheds light on early Greensboro and North Carolina's early years. There are period furnishings, some of which are original.

Worst place to visit on a hot and steamy day. I fail to see the appeal. The docents cannot add excitement to this place. Sorry history lovers. Not my thang.

I’m a native of Greensboro but had never been to Governor John Motley Morehead’s Blandwood Mansion. It’s a great historic house with many of the antique pieces original from the Morehead family. A very informative and knowledgeable docent provided the history of Blandwood, background and history on the Morehead family, and facts about various artifact throughout the house.

As part of our NC road trip we spent the better half of a delightful afternoon touring Greensboro's Blandwood Estate. Our tour guide and docent, MATT, met us at the entrance and for next hour and half (usually one-hour tour) MATT thoroughly entertained us with lively accounts and unique introductions, impressive insights, and vignettes into the main cast of characters, along with their oil portraits, personal artifacts and furnishings, which MATT did with extraordinary flair to help shaped the history of the premises. A do not miss on the Greensboro leg of our NC journey.
